How Does Montville Emergency Management Notify Residents in an Emergency ?

How Does Montville Emergency Management Notify Residents in an Emergency ?

The question is " How does the Town Emergency Management notify residents if there is a pending emergency" ?  In the event of a sudden event such as a Tornado warning we would use the emergency notification system to call residents, sound the sirens, post a message on cable channel 22 and possibly conduct route alerting. You should also tune to your local television station or radio station for additional safety information.

In the event of a hurricane or pending snow storm we would have more time to prepare since it would not be sudden like a tornadic event. The weather this year has been abnormal, especially tornado's in New England, be alert to changing weather conditions.

In the past we usged resident to go to www.ctalert.gov  to sign up to have the ability to receive messages on your cellular device or email. Like the State says" If we can't find you we can not notify you", please sign up today!
