The City of Colonial Heights has recently upgraded its emergency notification system. Beginning August 1, 2011, the City will use the CodeRED Emergency Notification System and it is an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications and the distribution of information considered to be important. 

This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the City in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action, such as an evacuation, contaminated water, hazardous chemical spill, etc.  This system is capable of dialing the entire City within minutes.  It then delivers a message describing the situations to a live person or an answering machine in the affected area, possibly including instructions requiring immediate action on the part of the recipient.

Please register today!  To ensure that we capture all residents and businesses who would like to receive these notifications, please register EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN RECEIVING THESE NOTICES FROM OUR PRIOR SYSTEM.

You may sign up by clicking the button above.  IMPORTANT:  USE YOUR PHYSICAL COLONIAL HEIGHTS ADDRESS.  DO NOT USE POST OFFICE OR OUT OF TOWN ADDRESSES.  Should you at anytime desire to be removed from the calling list you may do so by calling Colonial Heights Fire Administration at (804) 520-9387.

When registering you may also opt to receive CodeRED Weather Warning by checking the appropriate box.
