East Hampton Residents can Sign Up for Emergency Alerts

Get essential information quickly in a variety of situations.

 

The Town of East Hampton has implemented a state-of-the-art notification system to alert residents about emergencies and other time sensitive news. 

East Hampton Alerts notification system, powered by Everbridge, enables the Town to provide essential information quickly in a variety of situations, such as severe weather, fires, floods, unexpected road closures or evacuations. This system was used successfully during the Bevin Bell factory fire. More than 700 residents within a half-mile radius of the factory were notified regarding evacuations and air quality information.

The system allows you to include locations, cell numbers, email, fax numbers, special needs and other alerts you would like to receive.
