Jefferson County 9-1-1 uses CodeRED to send EMERGENCY notifications by phone, email, text, and a FREE mobile app to keep citizens informed of emergencies such as an evacuation notices, utility outages, water main breaks, fire or floods, chemical spills, or other emergency situations.
The County may also activate CodeRED to send GENERAL notifications to registered subscribers to communicate non-life safety matters, such as planned road closures, water main repairs, water and power service interruptions, etc. By selecting the box for GENERAL alerts, you will also receive these types of notifications.
There is no charge to register for or use CodeRED and your personal information will be kept confidential. Our database contains commercially available telephone numbers for Jefferson County, but not all cell phones or Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone numbers are included (i.e. Comcast, Skype, Google, Vonage, etc.). To be sure that you receive the alerts, Jefferson County residents are asked to add their cell phone, VoIP phone, and/or email address into the database. The CodeRED®link below will take you to the Community Notification Enrollment page for Jefferson County. This is a FREE service to the residents of Jefferson County.
Telephone notifications will come from 866-419-5000 for Emergency Notifications and 855-969-4636 for General Notifications. Please add these numbers to your contact list so you know who is calling you.
Residents can also receive enhanced public safety alerts no matter where you are located via the CodeRED Mobile Alert app – a free public safety app for both Android and iPhone users. The CodeRED Mobile Alert app delivers community and emergency alerts to individuals targeted within an impacted geographical area so that you may also receive timely notifications when you’re on the road, away from home.
