Are you prepared for a major snow storm, tornado, flood or even an act of terrorism? The City of Fairborn is taking another step to reach out to Fairborn and Bath Township residents if an emergency situation were to occur.

CodeRED, an emergency telephone notification system, will allow city officials to notify residents and businesses of emergency situations through a high-speed, pre-recorded telephone message. The CodeRED system, managed by Emergency Communications Network Inc., can place up to 60,000 calls per hour to all residents or targeted areas of the city.

The CodeRED system is only as good as the addresses and telephone numbers in the database. Therefore, residents and businesses are encouraged to click on the CodeRED logo and enter their address and telephone number directly into the system’s database. Residents and businesses should not assume their information is already in the database especially if the telephone number is unlisted, has been changed in the last year or a cellular telephone is used for a primary home telephone. Since the system is geographical-based, the telephone number is linked to the address.

To ensure all residents and businesses have an opportunity to update their information in the CodeRED database; anyone not wishing to use internet access can call Fire Administration at (937) 754-3080. Furthermore, if for some reason a resident does not want to receive emergency notification, they must submit a written “do not call letter” to the Fairborn Fire Department, 44 West Hebble Avenue, Fairborn, OH 45324.

The City officially implemented CodeRED on August 12, 2005.
