Sharon Alerts
Sign up to receive emergency alerts that could impact you and your family
Sharon, CT is able to send emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or voice mail (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. It is important to collect this contact information because many households no longer utilize traditional land-based telephone lines.
The Emergency Alert system is intended for emergencies as well as non-emergency incidents that may have significant impacts to our residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action such as evacuation, shelter, and health issues concerning air / water. Non-emergency alerts may include closure of roads due to road work, prolonged impact with significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and demonstrates that this system will not be used for routine information. In addition to receiving information on your wireless device, you may also receive notification on your land telephone line (if you have one) depending on the type of incident or event.
Please provide your address and preferred method(s) of contact. Adding your address will allow tailoring so you do not receive alerts that don’t pertain to your geographical area.
These alerts are provided free of charge, however standard text messaging rates and other charges may apply.
If you wish to subscribe to SMS text messages only, text SharonCT to 38276. There is also a mobile app available.
