What is the new CodeRED emergency notification system for the city?

CodeRED is a critical communications solution being used by the City of Murphysboro to alert residents and businesses through a variety of channels of time-sensitive information, emergencies, or urgent notifications. The system can reach all residents of Jackson County in minutes to ensure information such as evacuation notices, missing persons alerts, inclement weather advisories, and boil water orders are quickly shared. It is an important tool to help keep you informed and prepared for any emergencies that may occur in your area. Officials will send messages to alert you of emergency details, instructions, or precautions that you need to make well-informed decisions and remain safe. This system is precise enough to target residents within an exact area of impact, so only those who are affected by the situation are notified. Users can configure their settings to receive a voice call, text message, alert through a smartphone app, or all of the above.

To sign up, visit the city’s website murphysboro.com and click on the Code Red logo at the bottom of the page.
