As announced last week, we are excited to officially launch our new community notification system, Halifax Notify, which is designed to enhance our communication capabilities by ensuring that important information is disseminated quickly and efficiently to all residents and its guests.
Key Features
Real-Time Alerts: Receive instant notifications about critical updates, emergencies, and important announcements related to town government services and operations.
Multi-Channel Communication: Notifications can be sent via e-mail, SMS (text message), phone call, and push notification (via smartphone app).
Customizable Notifications: Tailor your notification preferences to receive updates relevant to your interests and needs, and which contact methods to use.
User-Friendly Interface: Easily manage and view notifications through an intuitive and accessible platform.
How do I register?
It's easy! You can sign-up online by visiting hfxnotify.me and creating a Smart911 account. After creating your account, you'll be able to select which list(s) you'd like to subscribe to.
Alternatively, you can opt-in to receive general notices and alerts via SMS by texting HFXMA to 67283.
Will I continue to receive e-mail notifications if I am an existing website e-subscriber?
Yes, at this time, news and notice posting notifications will continue being sent to existing website e-subscribers. We still encourage you to sign up on the new platform though!
Halifax Notify will help residents stay informed, streamline the flow of official town notifications, and create operational efficiencies in the dissemination of information.
For questions or if you require assistance with the registration process, please contact the IT & Communications office by e-mailing Cesar.Calouro@halifax-ma.org or calling (781) 293-1739.
