Stay Informed: City of Pennock Alerts & Notifications

The City of Pennock is committed to keeping our residents safe, informed, and connected. To ensure you receive time-sensitive information as quickly as possible, we utilize the Municipal Impact Alerting System. This platform allows us to reach you instantly during emergencies or provide routine updates about city services.

Why Sign Up for Alerts?

In a small, close-knit community like ours, communication is key. While we post updates at City Hall and on our Facebook page, those methods aren't always immediate. By signing up for our digital alerts, you ensure that the most important news reaches you directly via Text (SMS) or Email.

What Types of Alerts Will I Receive?

We respect your time and privacy; we only send notifications for information that directly impacts our residents. You can expect updates regarding:

  • Emergency Alerts: Immediate notification of public safety concerns, severe weather warnings, or natural disasters affecting our area.
  • Utility & Infrastructure Updates: Information on water main repairs, planned power outages, or street maintenance and road closures.
  • Public Health & Safety: Boil water advisories (if ever necessary), snow removal schedules, and "Snow Emergency" parking restrictions.
  • Community Reminders: Important updates on City Council meetings, local elections, or changes to the garbage and recycling schedule.

How It Works

Signing up is free and takes less than a minute.

  1. Select Your Preference: Choose whether you want to receive a text message, an email, or both.
  2. Stay Current: When the City issues an alert, you will receive it instantly on your mobile device or in your inbox.
  3. Manage Your Account: You can update your contact information or opt-out of the service at any time through this page.

Your Privacy Matters

Your contact information is used strictly for City of Pennock notifications. We do not sell or share your data with third parties, and you will not receive any "spam" messages through this system.
