Emergency Alert System Breach
What happened:

Why it matters:
Some cities may not be able to send emergency alerts on time.
Watch For

- Messages from your local government about system changes
- Strange emails or texts (possible scams)
Actions to Take
Public:
- Change your CodeRED password
- Turn on Wireless Emergency Alerts
- Be careful of scam messages
