The Town of Essex has implemented a state-of-the-art emergency notification system to alert citizens about emergencies and other community news. The emergency notification system, operated in partnership with Everbridge, enables the Town to provide essential information quickly and for a variety of situations, such as severe weather, fires, floods, unexpected road closures, or evacuation of buildings or neighborhoods.

How do Emergency Alerts Work?

The process begins when the Town of Essex issues a message about a potential hazard or concern. Messages will be sent to all standard voice and text communication devices, including land line phones, mobile phones, email and more. If you do not confirm receipt of the message, the system will try to reach the contact number or device that you entered into the system.
