Does the CodeRED system already have my telephone number, or do I need to sign up to receive CodeRED notifications?

The CodeRED database contains information received from public databases, including regional phonebooks which are landlines only and does not include cell phones or VOIP numbers.  
PLEASE NOTE:  If you registered your cell phone number with the Town for the “GEOCAST/Reverse 911” notifications, you will want to register again with CodeRED to ensure you are receiving the notifications you want.

How will I recognize a CodeRED message?

A CodeRED Emergency message will have a caller ID of 866-419-5000. 
A CodeRED General message will have a caller ID 855-969-4636. 
We suggest you program both numbers in your cell phone as a “new contact” and use “CodeRED Emergency” and “CodeRED General” as the contact name. If you need to replay the emergency notification message again, simply dial the number and you will be able to hear the message again.
