51Never leaves a message, if truly a alert number leave the alert
This is a legit number. Typically for your local communications regarding city, county, school, etc. alerts. Usually one has to sign up for this IVR call system by providing this number to your school system for instance.
Called three times so far in two days. First was at 11:23 pm (!) and left a message about a missing child. The last two calls were hang-ups. The hang-ups are proof alone of the spammy nature of the calls, for if they were legit there would be a message left at each call.
Call is from a service called CodeRed that is contracted to distribute warnings for many local governments.
Seems to be a legitimate call testing notification system
Part of the “CodeRed” alert system. Called on a day that the city was testing the alert system at the time they said it was going to come.
Sheriff's office missing person
Scammer spoofing numbers!
Boil water notice for Texans after inclement (snow) weather. Area disaster declared.

This is an emergency number that the city ued to notify me of a gas leak on my street. Appreciate that greatly.
I get calls way too often. I never subscribed. I dont even know what area this is for. I cannot find out how to get my number removed from their system.
Notification that 911 system was down in part of the state along with instructions for an alternative number to use if unable to get through in case of emergency.
small town where I own property outsourced emergency contact to save money. got an alert today about covid and halloween and neighboring red cities.
Reverse emergency call alerting area for missing person. Description, area, and call what police department with phone number to police dept involved. Valid call.

Message that our city and state has extended our curfew due to riots
This is a dangerous number.
Supposed to be emergency alerts for local community, instead I get a call (in addition to a text) for an AMBER alert happening 3 states away, and then another call (in addition to a text) cancelling the AMBER alert an hour later, and now I just read that the AMBER alert turned out to be a total hoax - some lady whose car was stolen reported her 12-year-old son was in it so the cops would pay attention, when he was at home the whole time. I'm blocking this number as first of all I don't need to be woke up for AMBER alerts three states away from my location and second, I think of "emergency" like a flood or something, not a hoax call to police.
from my local community with message from police about missing endangered person from a local inpatient mental health/substance abuse facility.
This was a legitimate call advising deferral of trick or treat night to 11/1 due to inclement weather
Call about mandatory evac in FL. I'm staying Dorain 2019
Dropped call or no message received in Stanley, Virginia. Calling with recorded message (robocalls)
iF this call is for emergency, then why isn't it coming from from my area? SPAM
I received a recorded message regarding a missing boy. It happens I live on the 9th floor and noticed the police searching in the next complex. It's a recording, so don't answer and wait for the message.
Received a call at 14:57 EDT; left a message regarding "code red alerts" from the National Weather Service for Roseau County, MN. I used to live there so it seems legit. It gave me instructions to update or drop my enrollment through Roseau County's website.
It's a hoax. They called at 3am. The next day we started getting so many telemarketer calls. Wish I had let it ring.
Manatee County Florida Emergency Services uses this number to notify residents of emergency situations. I get a phone call and a text message about specific emergency situations when they occur.
Claims to be Local Law Enforcement, but Number Registered Out Of State. Local Sheriff's Office says they Have No Idea What It Is. It Is FAKE! Report to Do Not Call List and Block!
I call BS on everyone who thinks this caller is legit. If it was my county emergency services calling, they would use a local area code to encourage more folks answering the call. Y'all should buy some swamp land in Florida!
Tornado warning...I never signed up for anything, but glad they call residents for weather warnings, etc.
It's an emergency/information number, alerting you to something that is happening, In my case it was saying how and when to put hurricane debris out for pickup.
This number is used by communities for things such as weather alerts, missing children or elderly adult alerts, etc.
This call came in at 11:25pm on a Wednesday. When I tried to verify the number it ranged from a place in Kansas? (this is Florida) to not having any listing what so ever to it MAYBE BEING THE REAL DEAL. how can you be sure of anything now a days. I'll wait a bit more to see if they call again, in which case I will answer it and possibly be warned of an upcoming snow storm.
Emergency message from city.
This is a legitimate number. The city I live in uses them for emergency notifications. Usually you have to sign up to receive these calls (I did but I had forgotten, until someone mentioned "Code Red" in an earlier post). If you are receiving calls you probably provided your number to your city (e.g. through the city portal) for emergency notifications.
Used by my city/county for emergency notifications - not harassment, not scam.
The county is using this to notify residents in the event of hazards or emergencies in the area
Strange and obvious robo call. Recorded message said several large sinkholes had opened up in the area overnight and for homeowners to check for cracks in their walls and floors. If any are found, to call 911 and to evacuate their residence.
This is harassment because there is no way to get your number taken off this robot calling list
My problem with this number is IF the pd here is using it, they are alerting for an address 5 years ago a ways from me.it's a robocall autodialer & never right for my part of town. There doesn't seem to be anyone to call or email to update the numbers called.
Our county is using this to notify residents in the event of hazards or emergencies in the area. Very annoying as they did initial setup last Wednesday -- ringing without message, multiple calls to each number. Once set up, I think it will give a recorded message if answered live or voice mail -- also says it will play recent alerts if the number is called by a registered number in the county. Must be a central call number for multiple agencies using this service.
Recorded emergency alert service. not harassment, but sometimes annoying.
Continuous calls at all hours are not legit. They are harassment.
It's and emergency alert system, in my town it was used this morning to alert PPL around the area where an elderly person was last seen. I missed the call and called back an hour later. There was a recorded msg from the police dept
i dont know, i just got a missed call from this number..
is this a public service or a complete scam>??>
