Code Red

Emergency Notification System

The City of Kingsland has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the City in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child, weather emergencies or evacuation notices).

The system delivers our recorded message to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.
