​ Troubleshooting:
​ •A CodeRED emergency message will have a caller ID of 866.419.5000. You can program this number into your cell phone as a contact. After you receive a message, you can dial this number to hear the message again. (CodeRED Automatic Severe Weather alerts will have a caller ID of 800.566.9780 for phone calls and a short code of 769993 for text notifications.)
​ •The CodeRED system will leave the message on an answering machine. If the line is busy, it will try two more times to connect.
​ •There are some circumstances that might prevent a message from being delivered:
​               ◦Your contact information has changed and you
​                 have not registered your new information
​               ◦You only have a cordless phone and your power is out.
​               ◦Your line is busy for an extended period and your calls 
​                 do not forward to voicemail
​               ◦You have a privacy manager on your main phone and you
​                 did not call and register an alternate number
