Why do I need CodeRED when I have TV or the internet to keep me informed?
If power goes out, you may not be able to depend upon TV or the internet. However, because telephone lines are self-powered and most people now have cell phones, the City and CJCFPD can continue to keep you informed through messages delivered by CodeRED. Many emergencies occur without advance warning. In such cases, you may have no reason to turn on a TV, radio or internet or you may be sleeping. That’s when CodeRED can help officials alert you immediately and advise you to take appropriate action.
