Town of East Haddam Public Notices

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM 

The Town of East Haddam has partnered with the Chatham Health District and a company called AlertNow to create a Town Wide Emergency / Informational Notification System.  AlertNow delivers voice, e-mail and emergency text messages quickly keeping residents informed of important and time-sensitive information. AlertNow will become a critical part to the Towns Emergency Operations Plan ensuring accurate information is communicated immediately in the event of an emergency situation or health care alert.   

In the event of an emergency or if we need to disseminate important information you will receive phone calls and emails to all of the contacts you provided below.  If you have caller ID, the ID will read "411" for emergency notifications and (860) 873-5020 for informational calls. 

A crucial component of this project will be gathering accurate contact information from our residents.  Residents will be allowed to provide multiple contact numbers and email addresses to have information delivered.  Please assist us by providing us with the following information. 

1. First and Last Name
2. Primary Residence or Business Phone #
3. Street Address (please do not use PO Box)
4. Additional Phone #'s you would like notified (Max of 4 additional Phone #'s)
5. Primary Email Address
6. Additional Email Address you would like added to the account (Max of 4 additional Email Addresses)
7. Primary language

This information can be faxed to (860) 873-5025, emailed to  or mailed to East Haddam Emergency Management, 7 Main Street, East Haddam, CT 06423.

As part of the alert system, text messaging to your cell phone is also available for receiving emergency notifications. To sign up for text messages you will need to register for this service by following these steps:

a.   Open an internet browser and go to www.alertnowsms.com

c.   Fill in your cell phone number and other required information

d.   Indicate which towns within the health district you want  receive text messages for  in case of an emergency.

The East Haddam Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission (IWWC) is looking for three new members to fill one regular and two alternate member seats, recently vacated. Although it may be helpful to have a professional background and/or education in environmental science, it is not a prerequisite for membership on the commission. A high degree of interest in environmental protection and a commitment to attending meetings and field walks is essential.

The IWWC is responsible for overseeing and enforcing municipal regulations respecting protection of our valuable wetland areas and watercourses. The IWWC meets in the evening on the third Tuesday of every month, and conducts a field walk at least once a month to review subdivisions and/or individual wetland applications.

Interested persons should contact the Land Use Office (873-5031) or the Selectmen's Office (873-5020) for an application form or download form here. You are also invited and encouraged to attend an IWWC meeting to observe commission proceedings.
