Emergency Alerts

The Town of Ridgely partners with Everbridge, a nationwide leader in emergency communication systems to send real-time emergency and community alerts directly to residents via text, email, phone calls, or mobile app notifications.

The Everbridge system is used to quickly share critical information that helps keep the community informed and safe. Alerts may include severe weather warnings, road closures, water service interruptions, public safety threats, missing persons, utility emergencies, or important town announcements such as meeting notices or event changes.

You will be required to create an account with Everbridge to sign up. This allows you to update your contact and preferences at any time. If you no longer wish to receive alerts, you can delete or deactivate your account.
