Connecting with our community is a priority for the City of Belmont. Our new community mass notification system CityConnect gives residents, businesses, and visitors 24/7 access to important public safety alerts as well as general community news and updates.
CityConnect is built on the Onsolve CodeRED communication system to ensure efficient, secure messaging via phone, email, text, and push notifications.
There are several benefits to enrolling in the CityConnect Community Notification System:
- During a crisis, real-time updates can provide life-saving instructions and information.
- Notifications are on the go with you. You can receive important alerts and updates directly to your cell phone, home phone, text, email, or through push notifications.
- You’ll receive Belmont-specific updates on both emergency and non-emergency topics that matter to our community.
- You’ll be notified when there are public services announcements that specifically impact your home or business location. For example: delays in garbage/recycling services, local road closures, CityRec Center updates, etc.
- Your personal data is secure in the Onsolve CodeRED system, which is used nation-wide by emergency services teams and municipalities.
CityConnect is intended to supplement, not replace, information residents will receive from the media. Further, it should not replace individual and family emergency planning. For information on developing an emergency preparedness plan we suggest that you visit www.Ready.gov or www.RedCross.org.
