The CodeRED system gives Township officials the ability to quickly deliver pre- recorded telephone notifications and informational messages to targeted areas or to the entire municipality. This system allows geographically- based delivery, meaning street addresses are required to ensure emergency notification calls are received by the proper individuals in a given situation. The system works for cell phones too, but we need to have an associated street address to provide relevant messages. Notifications can be received by phone call, cell phones, text message, email, and/or by a free mobile alert app. Registration for the alert system will be completed using the Township of Clinton website Community Notification Enrollment page. Emergency Notifications may include items such as the following: Local Security or Crime Alerts, Storm Emergency Alerts, Criminal Activity, or Missing Persons/Children. The Township of Clinton may also activate CodeRED to send out General Notifications to subscribers to disseminate non-emergency notifications for community reminders and information on municipal activities such as: Road Closures, Leaf Pickup, Christmas Tree Drop Off, and Recreation Events, i.e., Community Day. The Township encourages residents to opt-in to receive the General Notifications by check marking the box "General Notifications" during registration. No one should assume their phone number and information is already in the database. Much of the information that we currently have are from public databases. All businesses should register, as well as individuals who have unlisted phone numbers or use a VoIP as your phone connections (such as Xfinity Voice by Comcast, Vonage, Google, Skype, or AT&T U-verse, etc.), and those who have changed their phone number or address within the last year. In addition to this, those using cell phones as their primary phone should also register. RESIDENTS: We encourage you to register your information. Please use your current physical address (no P.O. boxes), primary phone, alternate phone, cell phone, and/or email address. We recommend when registering to check mark the "General Notifications" box. BUSINESSES: When registering be sure to select "This address is a business" option. Please use the businesses physical address, no P.O. boxes. Please note, messages can only be delivered to a direct dial number. Automated attendants will disrupt the process and calls will not be delivered. Businesses should register the main number, and/or additional numbers and establish procedure for distributing the CodeRED message to their workforce. We recommend when registering to check mark the "General Notification" box. The CodeRED system is compatible with TDD/TTY devices for those with hearing impairments and this can be set up for you upon request. Individuals and businesses may add as many phone numbers, emails, and text message numbers as they like. Tere is NO CHARGE to register for, or to use CodeRed. Your personal information will be kept secure and confidential. Residents, as well as visitors, can receive enhanced public safety alerts wherever you may be located via the CodeRED Mobile Alert App. The app is free for both Android and iPhone users. The CodeRED Mobile Alert app delivers community and emergency alerts to individuals targeted within an impact geographical area so that you may also receive timely notifications when on the road or away from home.
