Monroe County continues to utilize CodeRED, a high-speed emergency notification service provided by OnSolve LLC, as its official mass notification system.

The robust system plays a vital role in the county’s emergency communication strategy, delivering time-sensitive alerts to residents, businesses and visitors.

CodeRED is used to send emergency messages through phone calls, text messages, emails and social media platforms.

The service delivers critical emergency alerts, with a primary focus on severe weather warnings, as well as notifications for events such as evacuations, hazardous conditions and other public safety threats.

The system’s reliability, accuracy and speed ensure that critical information reaches the public when it matters most.

To enhance severe weather preparedness, Monroe County has also enabled automated National Weather Service alerts through CodeRED. Those alerts are pushed directly to subscribers’ phones, ensuring timely warnings about tornados, flash floods and other hazardous conditions.

Residents are encouraged to register for the free service to receive alerts through multiple channels.

Registration is quick and easy: visit https://www.monroecountypa.gov/departments/office-of-emergency-management/resources/codered and click on “Register for this Service”

Additionally, users can download the CodeRED Mobile Alert app from the App Store or Google Play. The app enables geo-targeted notifications, which are especially valuable for travelers and those away from home during emergencies.

“CodeRED allows us to reach people quickly and efficiently, even if they’re not at their primary residence,” said Maryellen Keegan, director of the Monroe County Office of Emergency Management. “We strongly encourage everyone in Monroe County to register for CodeRED alerts to stay informed and safe.”
