Alexander County Government has reinstated the use of the CodeRED emergency notification system to keep residents informed and enhance public safety. CodeRED is a useful tool to provide important messaging via phone, email, text, and push notifications.
Registration is quick, free, and easy. Residents may register for CodeRED alerts at https://accountportal.onsolve.net/AlexanderCountyCodeRED. For those who already have an account, sign in on the left side of the screen. For those who have never registered, click on “Register” on the right side and follow the prompts.
Residents can also text ALEXANDERCODERED to 24639 to opt in for text alerts and to receive the above sign-up link.
Alexander County Emergency Management Coordinator Daniel Fox said the county considered several emergency notification systems, but the planning committee believes CodeRED to be the best choice.
“Alexander County used CodeRED for several years, and it was especially helpful during COVID-19. We changed to a different service, but based on community feedback, we have now switched back to CodeRED,” said Fox. “After recent tragic events in our state and country, it is imperative to have a reliable means to send and receive alerts. The health, safety, and welfare of our residents and visitors are our top priorities. CodeRED provides us with the ability to direct key National Weather Service alerts to citizens quickly and provide community alerts in the event of other natural or manmade disasters.”
There are several benefits to enrolling in Alexander County’s CodeRED emergency notification system:
During a crisis, real-time updates can provide life-saving instructions and information.
Residents can receive important alerts and updates on their cell phone (voice, text, email, and/or push notifications) and home phone (voice only).
Residents can receive notifications when there are public service announcements that specifically impact their location, including public safety hazards, severe weather, missing persons, road closures, water service updates, etc.
