Town wants residents to sign up for VT-Alert

BRATTLEBORO — The town of Brattleboro urges all residents to sign up for VT-Alert, a mass notification system.

A free service, VT-Alert has been upgraded and improved. Even if you have signed up for VT-Alert in the past, you must re-register if you want to continue to receive emergency information. By signing up for VT-Alert, you can receive notification information via your phone, the web, your cell phone, email, and other technologies.

The town is currently using VT-Alert to disseminate vital information to residents in the case of a local emergency. You can receive information regarding response actions being taken by local and state agencies and actions you should take to protect yourself, your family, and your property.

It also will be used to send out non-urgent informational messages such as snow removal information, parking bans, and burn bans.

Your personal information is protected and never shared with anyone else. You can modify what type of information you receive or unsubscribe at any time. To sign up, go to www.vtalert.gov.
