9-1-1
A TDD system has been built into 9-1-1 since 2000. If a TDD caller calls 9-1-1 on any line, the phone recognizes the tones and brings up the system, which operators begin typing on.
CodeRED Emergency Notification System
The CodeRED program contacts registered individuals by telephone to notify them of imminent threats to health and safety—such as a chemical spill, evacuation notice, bomb threat, boil water notification, or missing child alert. The CodeRED system identifies hearing impaired residents within a highlighted area, prompting the CodeRED administrator to generate a TDD message. Residents must register for CodeRED.
