Windsor Locks Urges Residents To Register For CT Alerts

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — Town officials are asking Windsor Locks residents to sign up for both CT Alerts and the town’s Everbridge Emergency Communications System so they can get emergency information quickly when it matters most.

Local officials said the alert systems are used to send real-time notifications about severe weather, flooding, hazardous material incidents, transportation accidents and other emergencies that could affect the community.

Fire Marshal and Emergency Management Director Michael Sinsigalli said one of the biggest problems is that some people think they will automatically get those alerts, when that is not always the case.

Registering helps make sure residents receive location-specific notifications directly on the devices they choose, including phone calls, text messages and email alerts.

Town officials said boosting participation in both systems is a simple but important step in strengthening emergency preparedness and public safety in Windsor Locks.

Sinsigalli said the town is trying to raise awareness as Windsor Locks continues working to improve community preparedness efforts. He said fast, reliable communication remains one of the most important tools during emergencies.
