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.
Types of Emergency
- The City of Kingsland uses CodeRED to send EMERGENCY notifications by phone, email and/or text to keep citizens informed of emergencies such as an evacuation notices, utility outages, water main breaks, fire or floods, chemical spills, or other emergency situations.
- The City of Kingsland may also use CodeRED to send GENERAL notifications to those who register to communicate non-life safety matters, such as planned road closures, water main repairs, water and power service interruptions, etc. By selecting the box for GENERAL alerts, you will also receive these types of notifications.

The CodeRED Weather Warning is a free service and you can choose the types of alerts you would like to receive; tornado, thunderstorm and/or flash flood.
