CITY OF BROWNWOOD WARNING SYSTEMS
The City of Brownwood has two warning
systems. The first is CodeRed.
CodeRed is a phone-based system used
to notify Brownwood of emergencies
or
important information. The system has the ability to
call up to 1,000 phone
numbers per minute and deliver full, accurate messages to answering
machines
and in person. The number you will see on your caller-Id
is 866-419-5000
CodeRed cannot at this time, provide any other
caller-Id, so please take note
of
the number. Phone numbers for City of Brownwood
residents may be
changed or
numbers added
by going to web address:
www.ci.brownwood.tx.us.
If internet is
unavailable to you, call city hall, 646-5775 and
provide your name,
address, and
phone number/s you would like to have on the system.
Sirens are the City’s
second system used for warnings. The long steady tone is
a
warning tone and the up and
down/wavering tone is the attack or immediate
danger notification. The sirens are
tested on the first Monday of each month at
noon.
The City of Brownwood will use both
warning systems in the event a warning is
issued. When a warning is issued, tune
to a local television station or local radio
station for information. The use of a
Hazard Alert Radio (weather radio) is highly
recommended in homes and businesses.
By using the Hazard Alert Radio, the
user will get notification at the same
time as the City. Hazard Alert Radios are
available locally for purchase.
