I have a cordless phone, and it does not work when the power goes out. How is the Town going to be able to contact me?

Make sure you have at least one working corded telephone - and be sure to turn the ringer on. 

The CodeRED sign-up form gives you the option of filling in both a Primary Phone number and an alternate phone number. You can fill in the Alternate Phone number with another contact number such as your cell phone number or work number. Entering an alternate phone number will cause both your primary and alternate phone numbers to be called.
