Lee County Government has recently
changed our mass notification system (Reverse 911) to CodeRED from the previous
system, DeltAlert. This system
allows Emergency Services and the Sheriff’s Office to define areas of the
County, and immediately notify residents about an emergency in their area. The system will also provide weather warning
notification from the National Weather Service, if desired (The user must
select this option). By default, the
system uses the 911 system database of phone numbers. The 911 system only uses landline phone
numbers. Many residents now use
cellphones as their only phone. CodeRED
allows residents to sign into the system (Opt-In), and enter cellphone, text number, and email contact
information. Most residents who signed up for
DeltAlert did not include any address information, so they will need to sign up
for CodeRED. For
residents interested in getting emergency and weather information, go to the
Lee County Government website (www.leecountync.gov ),
click on the CodeRED icon on the Right side of the home page, and complete
the registration information. There is
no charge to sign up with CodeRED. Be sure to save your user name and password
so that updates can be provided when necessary.
If there are questions or problems, contact Lee County Emergency Services
at 919 718-4670.
