CodeRED®
CodeRED® is a high-speed telephone communication service that enables the City to send emergency notifications to registered phone numbers. In the event of an evacuation notice, utility outage, water main break, fire or flood, chemical spill or other emergency situation, the system will deliver a recorded message to either a live person, answering machine or voicemail.
Residents and businesses in the City of Fort Lauderdale are encouraged to sign up for CodeRED® emergency notifications at the link below. Registration is free and personal information will be kept confidential. Individuals who have already registered for the service but would like to update their phone number or add a cell phone number can do so by re-registering.
CodeRED™ notifications cannot be delivered to phone numbers with a privacy lock feature. To ensure messages are received, residents should either turn off the privacy lock feature during emergencies, enter 954-828-8000 on their “safe list” of phone numbers, or enter a cell phone number when registering for the service.

notifications. Registration is simple, quick,
and free. Just follow the online instructions.
NOTE: For Cell Phone ONLY Users
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) prohibits CodeRED™ from calling a cell phone except in life safety emergencies when a designated “Emergency Database” calling list is used. Unless a cell phone number is included with Utility Billing contact information or is manually registered, it will not be included in the CodeRED “General Database” used for non-life safety notifications.
Fort Lauderdale residents who only use a cell phone (no home phone) should manually register for CodeRED at www.fortlauderdale.gov or by calling the 24-hour Customer Service Center at (954) 828-8000.
