CodeRED Emergency Notification System
The City of Claremont, through a grant provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the State Office of Emergency Services, has purchased an Emergency Notification System called "CodeRED."


CodeRED is a high-speed telephone communications system capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour and delivering pre-recorded messages directly to live individuals, answering machines, cell phones, or computer based devices. Messages will update residents and businesses on pending emergencies, and critical incidents that require immediate communications and/or action by residents and business.

CodeRED WILL BE USED FOR EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS

CodeRED is intended to supplement our local law enforcement and public safety first responders with making timely emergency notifications. Examples of its use include:

• Evacuation Notice



• Fires or Floods



• Missing Persons



• Hazardous Material Spills



• Water Contamination



• Identifying Evacuation Centers



• Emergency and Critical incidents where rapid notification is essential.
  

The Police Department will be utilizing contact information (phone numbers) supplied by Verizon. Residents and businesses will be able to access, via the Internet, a community portal that will allow you to input your contact information to ensure we have your information and it is correct (link provided below).

In addition to CodeRED, residents and Claremont based businesses are encouraged to sign up for the "E-Watch" program via the Police Department's website. This additional communication tool provides time sensitive information about crime and crime activity in your neighborhood, as well as information on personal safety, disaster preparation, and can be used in conjunction with CodeRED to distribute information quickly to email addresses.

CodeRED notification phone calls will appear on caller ID as 999-911-9999.
