Smart911 Emergency Notification System

Register for the New Village of Skokie Smart911 Emergency Notification System

Alerts powered by Smart911 is the official emergency notification system used by the Village of Skokie to communicate by phone with Skokie residents and businesses during emergencies. Residents can opt in to register their mobile device and email address to receive text and email alerts. The Village no longer uses the CodeRED system, and if you registered for email and text alerts in the CodeRED system, you will need to re-register in the Smart911 system. Only landline phone numbers will automatically transition from CodeRED to the Smart911 system.

• Every six months, those who are registered receive confirmation texts and emails from Smart911 to verify that their information remains current.
