CodeRED will alert you by phone, email, and text about emergencies in your area. It will also provide you with instructions on what actions you need to take to protect life and property. The system will notify you about police activity, lost children, wildfires, and other emergencies nearby.

If you were asked to evacuate your home, could you without assistance? For the millions of Americans who have physical, developmental or intellectual disabilities, chronic conditions or injuries and other access and functional needs (AFN), emergencies present a real challenge.
Individuals having AFNs may also include individuals with disabilities, older adults, populations with limited English proficiency, limited access to transportation and/or limited access to financial resources to prepare for, respond to and recover from a disaster.
