City of Superior and Douglas County. CodeRED provides citizens with critical information, warnings, and advisories concerning an emergency. It allows citizens of Superior / Douglas County to take immediate, positive action to protect themselves in case of an emergency, and permits emergency response agencies to organize evacuation and shelters at any hour of the day or night.

How Will it Work?
Once the system has been activated, a message will be sent by computers to telephones registered to addresses within the area that is affected by the emergency.
What Will I Have to Do?
Follow the directions in the message. The message will direct you to do something such as:

What Should I Do if I am Notified of an Emergency?
