New Albany utilizes CodeRED™ to notify the entire community or targeted areas in case of an emergency or urgent situations that require immediate attention.  CodeRED™ is a high-speed telephone communication service available for emergency notifications. Notifications include:

• Natural disasters (tornado warnings/watches, fires, etc.)
• Man-made disasters (terrorism, chemical spills, gas leaks, etc.)
• Search and rescue (missing children, adults or disabled persons)
• Crime (prisoner escape warnings, sexual offender/predator alerts, etc.)

CodeRED™ uses a database of phone numbers and emails that is offered at no cost to residents and businesses. The information in the CodeRED™ database is secure and confidential and will only be used for emergency notification purposes.

Severe Weather Awareness – residents can receive severe weather alerts as part of their CodeRED™ registration. Additionally, residents can learn more about how to prepare for severe weather events at the Franklin County Emergency Management and Homeland Security website:  www.franklincountyohio.gov/emahs.
