The Town of Williamstown has launched AlertWilliamstown, a new mass notification system powered by Regroup, replacing CodeRED as the Town’s official platform for emergency alerts and town notifications.
AlertWilliamstown delivers fast, reliable, alerts directly to residents’ phones, email, or text — keeping the community informed and prepared when it matters most. The system will be used to notify subscribers about emergencies, severe weather events, and important town announcements.
The system is administered by the Town’s Communications Department in partnership with the Williamstown Police Department and the IT Department.
Residents who were previously signed up for CodeRED do not need to re-register — most subscriber information has already been transferred to AlertWilliamstown. However, former CodeRED subscribers are encouraged to log in and review their contact preferences to ensure they are receiving alerts through their preferred channels.
All residents, employees, and students who are part of the Williamstown community are encouraged to sign up. No password is required to register; a password is only needed to download the optional mobile app or to update notification preferences. Residents without a mobile phone may also sign up using a landline.
