How CodeRED Works

CodeRED is a fast communication tool for emergency notification. During an emergency, the City determines which neighborhoods or areas are affected and records a message describing the emergency and providing directions to the public. Once the message is confirmed, the high-speed dialer delivers it at 50,000 calls per hour to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.
