Oregon
City Police and the City of Oregon City will be utilizing The CodeRED Emergency Notification System if there is an emergency in our City.
How
CodeRED ® Works
The City of Oregon City utilizes the
CodeRED Emergency
Notification System to inform and advise community members in time of emergency.
CodeRED uses a high speed telephone calling system that delivers customized
pre-recorded emergency messages directly to homes, businesses, cell phones,
and answering machines, at the rate of up to 60,000 calls per hour.
CodeRED is capable of determining whether a call was answered by an actual person, an
answering machine, or not answered, and tracks these addresses in case the emergency
situation requires door to door notification.
