1. What is Swift911?

Swift 911 is an ultra high-speed communication service for sending emergency notifications and information. Alerts can go out as telephone calls to landlines or cell phones, or as emails or text messages. 

2. What kinds of Swift911 messages go out?

• Emergencies: Every resident and business registered in the system will receive emergency alerts.
• Targeted Situations: If a situation affects only a certain area - for example, a water main break or utility outage — only those geographically located in that area will receive a targeted message.

Note: The information within the Swift911 system is used only for the purpose of these types of notifications. It is not shared or sold or made available for use by outside individuals or entities.
