CodeRED® allows the City of Newberg to telephone all or targeted areas of Newberg and Dundee in an emergency situation that requires immediate action, such as an evacuation, hazardous chemical spill, missing person, drinking water contamination, hostage situation, et cetera. Within minutes of activation, residents are delivered a pre-recorded message describing the situation and, if necessary, provided instructions requiring immediate action on the part of the recipient.

 

While CodeRED® utilizes land line phone numbers, community members are encouraged to enroll additional cell phone or work phone numbers.

*  Listen Carefully
*  Follow instructions
*  Don't hang up until you hear the whole message

What should I do if I don't receive a message?
Your area of the community may not be identified as part of the notification area and may not be affected.  In this case, you won't receive a call even if it is only a block away.
