This system is used by emergency management officials to notify residents of emergency situations. The system is used in a myriad of emergency situations, including amber alerts, missing persons, gas leaks and extreme weather emergencies.   \u201cThe purpose of the Code Red system is to get information to our citizens as quickly as possible in an emergency situation,\u201d said Mayor Bass.  \u201cMany of us rely upon the media for this type of notification; however, if you are not tuned in to your television when a situation arises, you may not be aware of the need for action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The City recently has used the Code Red system to warn Tyler residents to take cover due to a tornado sighting.   Although the City does have outdoor warning sirens, residents inside their homes may not hear them in the event of an emergency.  \u201cThe key word is outdoor,\u201d explained Police Chief Gary Swindle.  \u201cIf you are inside your home, it is quite possible you may not hear the outdoor sirens \u2013 particularly if you have music playing, are watching TV, if the wind is blowing or there is heavy rainfall.  The Code Red system will call your home or cell phone to alert you of emergencies.  We encourage residents to register their phone numbers if they haven\u2019t already.\u201d  You can go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cityoftyler.org\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.cityoftyler.org<\/a> to read more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; Tyler Mayor Barbara Bass is encouraging residents to register their home and cell phone numbers on the City Code Red System.
