Weston Alerts

WestonAlerts is the official emergency notification system used by the Town of Weston so Town Officials can quickly communicate with residents during emergencies.

The Town of Weston has migrated to the CodeRED Community Notification System. If you would like to manage emergency notifications please sign up using your email address by visiting this link, or text WESTONALERT to 99411 using your cell phone.

CodeRED will deliver several benefits for residents and enable staff to mCodeRED Graphicore efficiently manage and distribute notifications before, during, and after emergency and non-emergency events:

  • Registration for this notification service is customized, allowing residents to choose which alerts they’d like to receive, as well as their preferred channel.
  • Residents can select several different methods including landline, cell phone, email, text message, TTY, or even a combination. These alerts can be specific to streets or neighborhoods, so individuals within affected areas are sure to receive relevant information.
  • Residents and visitors can keep track of alerts in Town with the CodeRED Mobile App, which notifies smartphone holders of real-time alerts in the area. Similar to online registration, users choose which notifications they’d like to receive via the app.
