CODERED WEEK
MAY 1-7, 2022
WHEREAS, Weld County Government remains committed to providing tools residents can use to
keep themselves, their families and their property safe during emergencies; and
WHEREAS, CodeRED is a tool Weld County Government has used since 2014. CodeRED is a free
service residents can register for to receive emergency alerts sent to their email or phone via call
or text; and
WHEREAS, CodeRED alerts are sent by the Weld County Regional Communications Center and
notify users of different types of emergencies occurring near their registered addresses. Types of
alerts include, but are not limited to, lockdown, evacuation or shelter -in -place notices. CodeRED
also gives residents the option to receive weather warning notifications from the National
Weather Service; and
WHEREAS, we all hope emergencies never occur, but when they do, the alerts sent through
CodeRED can provide families with the information they can use to make the best decisions for
themselves, their families and their businesses, which will ultimately make them better prepared
to deal with whatever emergency they face. Practicing emergency preparedness and utilizing a
tool like CodeRED, helps our county and residents be more resilient and can reduce the loss of
life and property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the Board of Weld County Commissioners that as
we enter severe weather season, May 1-7, 2022 be known as CodeRED Week. We call upon the
citizens to become more informed, empowered and prepared by registering to receive CodeRED
alerts. Residents can enroll by visiting www.weld911alert.com or calling the Weld County Office
of Emergency Management at (970) 304-6540.
