The City of Highland Park has instituted the CodeRED® Emergency Notification System – an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. The system allows us to telephone the entire City or a targeted area in the event of an emergency situation that requires immediate action. CodeRED® is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour and delivering a recorded message to a live person or answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.

CodeRED® will only be used for emergency purposes. Some examples of incidents that Highland Park would utilize the system include: Gypsy moth spraying from low flying helicopters, Boil Order Notifications, Missing Persons, Evacuation Notices, Gas Leaks and other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is essential for public safety.

Available Highland Park residential and business telephone numbers have been downloaded into the database. Residents or business owners with unlisted numbers should register. Follow the link below to register and add a cell phone or work phone to the notification list.
