CodeRED
CodeRED Emergency Notification System
CodeRed allows Washington County to provide emergency notifications to Newport residents quickly by phone and text. The CodeRED system will be used only for emergency and life safety purposes. Examples of incidents when CodeRED could be used include: missing child alerts, chemical or gas leak, fires or floods, extended utility outage, evacuation notice and route, and other instances where rapid and accurate information are essential for life safety. The system will not be used for weather warnings, but may be used for follow-up information such as evacuations or shelter locations.
