CodeRED Emergency Alert System
The Campbell County Department of Public Safety has implemented an emergency alert system called CodeRED and is asking all residents and businesses to register for these alerts.
The CodeRED platform works jointly with the Campbell County GIS database, the federal IPAWS network, and the National Weather Service to send automated messages about large scale threats, such as tornadoes and severe thunderstorms.
Public Safety can send automated emergency alerts to county residents’ landline phones throughout the locality with the notification system. It can also send automated emergency alerts to cell phones of those who register for the alerts.

Who needs to register?
Public safety officials are asking all residents and businesses to register for the alerts.
While some alerts are sent automatically to landline phones, individuals and businesses with landlines must register in order to receive emergency notifications from federal agencies such as the National Weather Service for alerts about emergencies such as tornado warnings. Also, by registering you can confirm that your landline information provided by the phone company is correct.
You also need to register if you would like text, emails, or phone call alerts of any kind sent to your cell phones and/or phone calls to unlisted landline phone numbers.
How do I register?
