CodeRED

CodeRED is Calvert County's telephone emergency notification system.  It allows staff to contact Calvert County residents in the event of an emergency situation such as power outages, missing persons, weather updates, water and sewer service disruption, and gas line breaks.  CodeRED employs mapping capability for geographic targeting of calls coupled with a high-speed telephone system capable of delivering pre-recorded messages directly to homes and businesses via telephone, cell phone, text and email messages.

In order to successfully reach residents, it is recommended that each household have a plug-in, non-portable phone in the event of power outages.  In the event of extended power outages, staff use CodeRED to provide updates and broadcast emergency information such as warming center locations and mass care shelter activations.

We encourage all residents of Calvert County to register to receive messages by visiting CodeRED.
