CodeRED Emergency Notification System
About CodeRED
The Town of Apex 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 Town. 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 offers three types of notifications. Visit the Apex Residential Data Update Page or call 362-4001 to update your preferences!

• Evacuation notice & route

Type 2: General notification
