Stay Informed with CodeRED Alerts
The City of Hillsboro uses a system called CodeRED to quickly alert residents about emergencies. These alerts can include:

• Severe weather (like tornado warnings or thunderstorms)

• Water outages

• Other public safety dangers

How It Works:
CodeRED sends out alerts based on your location. It can notify one street, a neighborhood, or the entire city—whatever is needed for the situation.

You can choose to receive alerts by phone call, text message, email, or any combination of those options. The system uses a recorded message to share important details, and if your line is busy, it will try calling up to three times.

Who’s Included:
Most listed landline numbers in Hillsboro and the surrounding area (ETJ) are already in the system.

If your number is unlisted, or if you use a cell phone, VOIP, or TTY/TDD device, you'll need to sign up online to receive alerts.
