Code Red Emergency Alert Service

The Village of Yellow Springs is now utilizing CodeRED as an additional method to notify its residents and businesses of emergencies.

CodeRED is a fast communication tool for emergency notification. When there is an emergency, the Village determines which neighborhoods or areas are affected and creates a recorded message that describes the emergency and provides directions to the public. After the message is confirmed, the high-speed dialer delivers the message at a rate of 50,000 calls an hour to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.

CodeRED will already reach the majority of residents who have a landline phone. However, the Village encourages residents and all businesses to register their phone number if

  1. you have moved or changed your phone number in the last 6 months,
  2. you have an unlisted phone number,
  3. you use your cell phone as your primary phone number,
  4. you use TDD/TTY equipment, and/or
  5. you are a business.
