UPGRADE OUR
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION
SYSTEM
On September 1, 2009, Connecticut became the first state in the nation to have a statewide emergency notification system. CT Alert ENS allows state and local officials to help protect lives and property by providing critical information to residents during emergencies, including dangerous situations. CT Alert ENS is managed by the State Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. But the E9-1-1 database includes only traditional wire-line telephone numbers in the state (the “land line” phone you may have in your home). To sign up mulitple devices, set the order of receipt, or add additional locations click on the link below.
Suffield Alerts
You can also receive alerts within Suffield. These include emergency alerts and advisory information from the town’s Emergency Management office. The town should already have your traditional wired home telephone number from the public telephone database. You can add cell phone and work phone numbers, as well as email addresses. To sign up, go to http://www.suffieldtownhall.com/alert
