CodeRED
Cumberland County has contracted with Emergency Communications Network, Inc for its "CodeRED" high speed telephone emergency notification service. In the event of a natural disaster or man-made emergency, the CodeRED system gives the City and County the ability to deliver pre-recorded emergency telephone notifications/information messages to targeted areas or the entire region at a rate of up to 60,000 calls per hour.
CodeRED allows us to notify you via hardwired phone, cell phone, text message, or email in the event of an emergency. CodeRED has provided the County with a database of residential and business phone numbers derived from public sources such as phone books, however no resident should assume their information is in the system. To ensure you will receive notifications in case of emergency, please take a few moments to sign up.
