The CodeRED system recently experienced a lengthy outage caused by a security breach. The service is restored, but anyone who registered after March 31, 2025, will need to go online and re-register for alerts, according to Kerr County Emergency Management Coordinator William B. "Dub" Thomas.

Persons who had "managed accounts", meaning they could log in and change alerts to receive, add or delete phone numbers or email addresses will need to go to the website and click the "Change Password" icon if they wish to keep a managed account.

Those who have never registered for CodeRED are encouraged to do so using the following link:
