CODE RED

Be Informed With CodeRED

WHAT IS CODERED? The Villages uses CodeRed, an emergency alert system, to call, email or test residents to alert them of major emergency situations. WHY SHOULD I SIGN UP? Residents should sign up each cell phone in the family to ensure each family member will be aware and up- to-date during an emergency.

The CodeRED® Emergency Notification System is a high-speed telephone communication service the Village uses to notify residents and businesses of an emergency or urgent situation that requires immediate attention. Residents and businesses are urged to complete the CodeRED Community Notification Enrollment and update their contact information. Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, zip code and primary phone number. Additional phone numbers, email address and text messaging are optional. All businesses should register, as well as all individuals who have an unlisted phone number, have changed their phone number or address within the last year, or use a cellular phone as their primary telephone number. The information you provide is used by the Village of Orland Park for notification purposes only. Your information will be kept confidential and will never be sold or disclosed to others.
