Code Red Sign Up link

January 23, 2026

In November 2025, OnSolve, which runs the community notification product CodeRed, notified their customers that they had been hacked. As a consequence, they completely restructured their web services and over the past two months, they began to recover data from the old service and place it into the new service.

Some of the data was put back. Which means, that some residents may continue to get CodeRed messages from the township to their phone, text, email, etc.

However, if you are not receiving the messages in the way that you wish, please sign up for an OnSolve account at this link and confirm which alerts you wish to receive and by which methods (phone, text, email, etc.)
