Body

In an event of an emergency, Robbinsville officials issue alerts through CodeRED, a high-speed notification solution.

The CodeRED system allows messages to be quickly delivered to targeted areas of Robbinsville, or to the Robbinsville as a whole.      

On Monday, Nov. 2, Robbinsville will be conducting a performance test of the system at 1 p.m., contacting everyone in Robbinsville who is currently in the emergency database.

Receiving a test message will assure that residents will receive a message when an actual alert is issued by Robbinsville officials. Residents who have not enrolled to receive emergency CodeRED notifications – or did not receive a test message – should immediately visit townofrobbinsville.com website and click the CodeRED logo to enroll. 

Those without Internet access may call the Robbinsville Customer Service Center (828-479-3250), Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., to supply their information over the phone. Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, zip code and primary phone number. Additional phone numbers can be entered as well.

CodeRED gives those who want to be included an easy and secure method for inputting information. The data collected will only be used for emergency notification purposes such as in the case of missing children, boil water advisories and shelter-in-place alerts.

Any questions should be directed to the Town of Robbinsville, (828) 479-3250.
