Why is CodeRED important ?
CodeRED is an important to tool to help keep the public informed and prepared for any emergencies that may occur in the City of Lenoir. Staff will send messages to alert residents of emergency details, instructions, or precautions that the public needs to know in order to make well-informed decisions. This system is precise enough to geo-target residents within an exact area of impact, so that only those people who are affected by emergency situation are notified.
Is CodeRED different from NotifyMe?
Yes. CodeRED is different than Notify Me. Notify Me alerts inform subscribers about information posted to the City website such as upcoming events, news, youth sports, and more. Residents have to sign up for Notify Me. Click here to visit the Notify Me page. CodeRED is used to send alerts and important notifications to residents even if they may not have signed up. Of course, staff encourages all residents and employees in the City to sign up for CodeRED as well.
