Grayson County has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the County in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers a pre-recorded message describing the situations to a live person or an answering machine in the affected area possibly including instructions requiring action on the part of the recipient. Once the situation is remedied, another call will be placed to the area signaling that the issue has been addressed and that normal activities can be resumed.

examples of times when the CodeRED system could be utilized: severe weather notifications, drinking water contamination, evacuation notice & route, missing person, fires requiring your action or floods, bomb threat, hostage situation, chemical spill or gas leak, and other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is essential for life safety.  

IF YOU WANT NON-EMERGENCY NOTICES FROM THE CITY OR COUNTY - such as information about water, solid waste or other service interruptions, please make sure you enroll in the "General Notifications" option.
