PUBLIC SAFETY CodeRED database to be verified The city's CodeRED database will undergo a verification process next week on Feb. 3, 5, and 7. By eliminating phone numbers that are no longer valid, the process will increase the efficiency of the system and speed delivery of notifications during an emergency. CodeRED will begin calling every number in the city's CodeRED database on Feb. 3. There is no need for action when the call is received. The caller ID will read 800.791.3749. The recorded message will say, "This is a test of your community's CodeRED Emergency Notification System. No action is required. This is only a test. Had this been an actual emergency, you would have received important information from your local officials. Again, this is only a test." The system will continue to call any unanswered numbers on Feb. 5, and again on Feb. 7. If there is no response or a number is not in service, it will be deleted from the CodeRED system. A number is validated when the call is answered, either in person or by an answering machine or service. The city encourages all citizens to keep your information updated in the CodeRED system.
