Nationwide CodeRED Emergency Mass Notification Platform Outage
This email was sent to CRA subscribers interested in communications infrastructure and/or emergency communications.
The CRA has learned of an ongoing nationwide outage/disruption of the CodeRED platform that started on November 10, 2025, resulting from a cybersecurity incident that damaged the OnSolve CodeRED environment. This outage affects thousands of jurisdictions that utilize the CodeRED vendor managed software as their emergency mass notification platform to send emergency alerts by phone call, text and email to residents and local businesses.
This incident does not impact 9-1-1 services or the Emergency Alert System (Wireless Emergency Alerts, WEA, for cell phones and Emergency Alert System, EAS, for television and radio). Both remain functional.
