Code Red Alert System

As we sat watching an Oklahoma tornado recap on tv last night, I remembered getting a phone call from the county encouraging me to sign up for an emergency alert system called Code Red.  I had been planning to sign up and just didn't get around to it.  First thing this morning, I created my account and downloaded the app.

The app is "free", if you consider a one month subscription to be free.  After that I guess I'll have to purchase the app for $4.99.

I had to create two logins, one for the app and one for the online service.  The online service is where I entered my address and phone numbers, so don't skip that one.

I can't say how useful the service is, but I feel a little safer just knowing that I signed up today.
