What is CodeRED and why is it important to me?
CodeRED is a new Kane County service by which County and municipal officials can notify local residents and businesses by telephone about emergency situations or critical community alerts. The system is capable of sending messages only to people affected by a particular situation, or, in the case of a widespread emergency like a tornado, to the Countys entire population. The speed of the CodeRED system (up to 50,000 calls per hour) is so great that the County is able to send a message to affected households almost as quickly as County officials become aware of the situation.
