It's New! Sign up for Citizen Alerts via the web

As the last couple of years has shown us, emergency communication to residents is extremely important in the case of storms and natural disasters.  Towards this goal, the Town has purchased a "reverse 911" system that gives us additional ways to contact you in the case of an emergency.

It’s NEW!! Click on the CITIZEN ALERT Button on our website at www.eastgranbyct.org . Get alerted about emergencies and other important community news by signing up for our Alert Notification System. This notification system enables the Town to provide you with critical information quickly such as severe weather, unexpected road closures, missing persons, and evacuation of buildings or neighborhoods.

You will receive time-sensitive messages wherever you specify, such as your home, cell, or business phone, email, text messages, hearing impaired receiving devices, and more. To sign up go to www.eastgranbyct.org, click on the CITIZEN ALERT button in the middle of the page and follow the instructions.  For more information call the Selectman’s Office – 860-653-2576.
