The Town of Duxbury wants you to know when we have an emergency or to provide you with severe weather updates.
We encourage all of our residents to sign up to receive emergency alerts and severe weather warnings that could directly impact you and your family.
By signing up using the link below, the Town of Duxbury is able to send you emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or voice mail (in extreme cases), based on your preferences.
The system is intended to be used for emergency alerts, as well as non emergency incidents that may have significant impacts to residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action be taken such as evacuation, shelter in place, boil water orders, etc. Non-emergency alerts could include significant transportation problems with prolonged impacts or significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and demonstrates that this system will not be used for routine information. In addition to receiving information on y0ur wireless device, you may also receive notification on your land telephone line (if you have one) depending on the type of incident or event.

contact. Adding your address will allow tailoring so you do not receive alerts that don't pertain to your geographical area.
