What is CodeRED and why is it important to me?

CodeRED is a new emergency notification service by which town officials can notify Auburn residents and businesses by telephone, cellular phone, text message, or electronic mail about time-sensitive emergency situations or important community alerts. The system is capable of sending messages only to specific neighborhoods or the entire town. Only authorized officials are allowed access to the system.
