The Village Emergency Notification System is the portal where you can add multiple email addresses, and telephone numbers, and even sign up to receive text messages when you enter your information.
Background: Getting the word out to the residents and businesses about emergencies is of utmost importance to the Village. Recently, the Village entered into a contract agreement with Everbridge. This is a mass notification system (MNS) that broadcasts messages to inform the public of an emergency. It sends real-time alerts and instructions to groups and individuals during critical events such as natural or human-induced disasters, pandemics, and terrorist attacks. Send multiple channel messages through SMS, email, desktop alerts, and/or voice.
Please be assured your information will not be released to anyone, and the Village will only use the system for emergencies.
The Village encourages everyone to take advantage of this program. It is an excellent way to be directly in touch with the Village in the event of an emergency. If you receive a notification message, please do not call the Police Department. Telephone lines need to remain open to provide emergency response during an event. For more information during an emergency, go to the Village’s website for further information or follow the instructions in the message on how to replay the message.
