The Town of Williamstown has upgraded its mass notification system. AlertWilliamstown, powered by Regroup, replaces CodeRED as the Town’s official emergency alert system.
Introduction
AlertWilliamstown delivers fast, reliable, location-specific alerts directly to your phone, email, or text — keeping you and your family informed and prepared when it matters most. The system is used to notify subscribers about emergencies, severe weather, and important community announcements.
AlertWilliamstown is for everyone who lives, works, or studies in Williamstown. If Williamstown is part of your daily life, sign up to stay informed and prepared.
For CodeRED Subscribers
Good news — you may not need to re-register. Most CodeRED information has been transferred to AlertWilliamstown. However, we encourage all former CodeRED subscribers to log in and review their contact preferences to make sure you’re receiving alerts the way you want them.
Why We Made the Switch
AlertWilliamstown gives the Town more powerful, flexible tools to reach residents quickly and reliably during emergencies and critical situations.
Administration
AlertWilliamstown is administered by the Town of Williamstown Communications Department, in partnership with the Williamstown Police Department and the Town’s Information Technology department.
