CodeRED will allow authorities to send out alerts or notifications. They can be about emergencies like hazardous materials spills, barricaded criminal suspects, floods or fires.
They can also be for non-emergencies like road closures, maintenance work, or missing people.

A test call will go out next week, on November 17th.
