Westford uses a system called Smart911 to notify residents of issues they need to be aware of. Smart911 is a Community Messaging System used to notify residences through an automated telephone dialing system, which sends a message automatically to thousands of targeted residences and/or contact data bases. When important information needs to be communicated, Smart911 will allow the affected members of the community to be notified in a fraction of the time it would take town officials to manually convey these messages.

Most residents will not need to take action in order to receive notification of events on their home telephone. However, if you have recently moved into Westford, changed your home phone number, or have an unlisted phone number you will need to register your phone number. In addition to your home phone number you can register any number of additional numbers. These can be cell phone or work numbers. The numbers do not need to be located in Westford as long as the address you register them against is. In other words, you can register a phone number in Boston against your home address in Westford. You can also register to receive notification via email and SMS.
