Red Lake County uses CodeRED to send EMERGENCY notifications by phone, email, text and social media 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.

Red Lake County may also activate CodeRED to send GENERAL notifications to registered subscribers 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.

Note: CodeRED is provided as a supplemental emergency communication method and should not be relied upon exclusively.

 

CodeRED will attempt to deliver the message to each registered number up to 3 times in order to maximize the number of delivered messages.  The messages will consist of six key elements:

1. Statement that it is a CodeRED emergency message from Red Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
2. Time and date of the call.
3. Scope of the emergency.
4. Area(s) affected by emergency.
5. Action that needs to be taken.
6. Directions for obtaining more information.

Although many landline telephones are automatically registered with the emergency notification database, you are encouraged to go online and register your own personal information. By doing so, you will be ensuring that the data pertaining to you and your home is as accurate as possible.
