Flood

The system automatically dials a primary residential (landline) phone however; wireless phones must be registered individually to receive notification of an emergency situation or critical community alert. Residents are encouraged to sign up and receive real-time emergency messages should a critical situation occur in your neighborhood, but logging onto www.cityofventura.net/fire/emergencyprep and clicking on the CodeRED button.
