CodeRED Emergency Notification System
The City of Lake Forest 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
City 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
50,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers our recorded
message to a live person or an answering machine, making
three attempts to connect to any number.
CodeRed will only be used for emergency purposes.
Examples of times when the CodeRED system could be utilized:
drinking water contamination, utility outage, evacuation
notice and route, missing person, fires 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.
Lake Forest resident and business telephone numbers have
been downloaded from the City's water billing records.

the notification list for your home or business address.
