How You Will Be Notified of an Emergency
If there is an emergency requiring public notification, you will be alerted by one or more of the following ways:
Duxbury’s Rapid Dialing Telephone Service, Connect-CTY, notifies registered citizens by phone, email, pager, and/or fax. Listings are confidential and used for no other purpose than for town officials to notify citizens of important public information.
- Broadcasts from loudspeakers on police and other official vehicles.
- Beach loudspeakers
- Announcements from town harbormasters or an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast from the U.S. Coast Guard.
- Tone-alert Emergency Alert System radios.
- A message on Teletypewriters (TTYs) if you have registered with a town Emergency Management Office to be notified over TTY in case of an emergency.
- Word of mouth.
If you hear any of these, turn to one of the Emergency Alert System radio stations immediately.
