What is Code Red ? The CodeRED™ Emergency Telephone Calling System is an extremely high-speed telephone communication service available for emergency notifications. How does it work ? The system is used to quickly notify residents and businesses in a geographic area of a potential hazardous situation, missing or endangered person, evacuation notices and other important public safety notices. Officials in Scarborough will determine the need for a broadcast and can initiate a call in minutes. The system is capable of 60,000 calls per hour. A townwide alert may take 15 minutes and a localized one may be only a couple. What do you need to do ? Although most phone #'s are in the system there is a potential that yours is not. The Town of Scarborough does not have access to the database, we can not confirm that your number is logged. You may visit the link below which provides for entering your data. You may enter a primary and secondary number, the secondary number could be your cell phone number so you can be alerted while away from home. The system will not make duplicate calls. If you were already in the database and added your info you will not receive two calls to the same phone number. Contacts: If your have additional questions about this service you may visit CodeRED's website at: www.coderedweb.com or contact Joe Giacomantonio or Tim O'Brien at the Police Station
