We would also like to remind our citizens that the mass notification system we primarily use now is called CODE Red. With this system, we can notify our citizens via voice call, text message, email and TDD of any safety issues affecting our citizens. All you have to do to receive these notifications and be informed is to click the link provided below. Then click on the City of Rockdale link and follow the instructions. We want our citizens to be informed on issues that concern your safety. Together, we can make a difference.
