Have You Signed Up for City Alerts?
Know what’s happening in your neighborhood and beyond. City Alerts share timely information about emergencies, construction and road closures in your area, and other important community news. You can choose to receive alerts either by email, phone, text, or all three in one of five languages.
We use a tool called Everbridge share important information with the community. You can sign up for alerts or update your preferences on this page or by selecting your preferred language below:
Have you moved recently, or do you need to update which alerts you receive? Update your information or preferences, as well as unsubscribe, on this page. NOTE: Alerts are specific to your neighborhood, so if you change addresses, be sure to update your Everbridge profile! This will make sure you only receive alerts relevant to you.
Looking for the weekly Somerville eNewsletter? You can sign up to receive that here. And if you’d like alerts about specific boards, commissions, or events in the City, you can find a complete list here.
Disclaimer: Database glitches resulting in you not receiving messages pertaining to parking restrictions, including snow emergencies, do not automatically qualify you for dismissal or reimbursement of tickets and/or tow fees. Please review signage on your street, pay close attention to temporary signage, and review our parking policies and snow emergency policies.
