The Town of Fountain Hills is making efforts to prepare residents for emergency situations by working to implement an emergency notification system with CodeRED.

While it’s important for everyone to prepare, the Town of Fountain Hills wants to ensure that everyone knows exactly what to do in the event of an emergency.

The CodeRED system enhances communications between residents and town public safety personnel by sending telephone calls, text messages, emails and social media alerts directly to enrolled residents.

Town officials are urging all residents to enroll and receive emergency alerts through CodeRED.

To enroll, visit the town website at fh.az.gov/codered and click on the CodeRED logo at the bottom right of the homepage to update contact information.

The town is also asking residents to tell family members, friends, colleagues and other groups about the CodeRED system and make sure they are in the emergency database.

The town will rely on the CodeRED system to keep the community informed during an emergency, so make sure to provide contact information.
