Flower Mound residents encouraged to sign up their cell and business phones with CodeRED system

by PegNews wire

FLOWER MOUND — Flower Mound is encouraging its residents to sign up alternate phone numbers with the CodeRED Emergency Notification System.

CodeRED is the automatic phone service that calls residents in an "emergency situation". CodeRED calls land lines because those are registered with the annually updated National Residential Database. But not cellular or business lines.

Flower Mound is thus recommending they be registered. Flower Mound isn't coming right out and ordering residents to register their cell and business lines. But Flower Mound would be mighty disappointed if a CodeRED Emergency Notification were issued and its residents were unreachable. Flower Mound can't imagine what possible reason residents would have to NOT register their cell or business-line phones with the CodeRED system.

So enthusiastic is Flower Mound about getting these cell and business lines registered that it's created a link on its Web site making it easy as pie to sign up additional numbers. Residents claiming "it's too hard" had best start searching for another excuse.

For more information regarding the CodeRED, please call 972-539-0525.
