CodeRed Emergency Alerts
CodeRed is designed to notify you in case of City emergencies and other situations which may affect you. If you are trying to report an emergency, you should always call 911. The city of Auburn is included in the Alert King County System to make sure that Auburn residents have the best emergency information possible. New users must sign up for emergency messages on the Alert King County page via the link below. Auburn Emergency Managers will use this system to share important messages with Auburn residents and businesses that have signed up for the notices.
To ensure CodeRed has the most accurate database possible, all City residents and businesses are encouraged to visit the links below and register their phone numbers and email addresses. While the system does have a very large database, your individual registration ensures that you receive information at the phone numbers and email addresses you choose, in the format you require. You may also choose to receive text messages of alerts, as well as opt-out of non-emergency messages that are sometimes used for testing. Please note that cell phone and Voice-Over-IP (VOIP) users must always register their phone numbers in order to receive messages.
In addition to phone, e-mail, and text messages, City residents may download the CodeRed Mobile App available via the App Store for iPhone and iPad or via Google Play for Android smartphone users. The mobile app delivers emergency notifications to users traveling through or visiting any CodeRed jurisdiction across the country, including Auburn.
Must have an address within the Auburn city limits to register.
Residents near the county line should consider registering on both systems.
