What is CodeRED?

It’s an Emergency Telephone Calling System that has the capability to call every phone number registered in the database within a short period of time, or targeted areas as needed, in the event of an emergency.

What’s it used for?

You pick what you’d like to receive from options including:

• Emergencies (Critical messages)

  • Weather watches and warnings

  • Information notices in the event of large-scale emergencies or disasters like severe weather aftermath or train derailments

• Non-emergencies (General messages)

  • Road closures

  • Trash collection schedule changes

  • Snow plow schedules

  • Other county, township, or village services

How will it notify me?

• The calls are placed directly to your home or cell phone number based on the address you have registered in the database.

• Your street/road address is very important so a call will only be placed to you if your address is affected by the emergency condition.
