Each City determines when, what type, and how often they wish to use CodeRED. The City of Centerville has decided to use CodeRED primarily for the following purposes: fires, floods, water boil alerts, missing persons, evacuation notices, crime alerts, terrorist threats, chemical spills, drinking water contamination, viral outbreaks, utility outages, street closures, etc. The City does not wish to overload the public with information; so discretion will be used while maintaining the utmost goal of public safety.
