The City of Stamford recently launched a new emergency mass notification service which will provide similar services as our last reverse-911 system, but at a lower cost to the city. Having this system in place allows city officials to communicate with residents quickly and efficiently in the event of an emergency, and can even be used for planned and routine public safety announcements. We can record, send and track personalized voice messages to thousands of residents, businesses and local agencies in just minutes, through a single phone call. We are also equipped to send text messages to cell phones, PDAs, e-mail accounts and TTY/TDD receiving devices for the hearing impaired.
Getting set up to receive these calls is an important part of sensible emergency preparedness for your family, and it’s up to you to make sure that you’re ready to receive information in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. If your number isn’t listed, it won’t be included unless you opt in, so be sure to go to this site to register for our emergency alerts. For your family and friends without internet access, they can call 977-4153 to add themselves to our system.
