Don’t miss out on important information. Register for Verona Township's emergency and community alert notification system called AlertVerona, through the Smart 911platform. This new system, as of March 2021, utilizes text messaging, voice calls and email which allows the Township to communicate real-time updates and alerts to residents much more effectively and on your preferred communicate channel of choice, phone, text, email, or all three.
We encourage all residents and/or caregivers of residents, as well as Verona businesses to register their cell phones and email addresses as soon as possible to void missing important public safety incidents, traffic alerts, power outages, hydrant flushing, severe weather alerts, overnight parking rules, and much more. Landline numbers will only be used for emergency incidents and are preregistered for anyone who does not have access to a cell phone or email.
The safety of our residents and businesses is our #1 priority so please do not miss out on this opportunity to be a well-informed citizen of Verona.
Please note, the previously used system NIXLE, has been phased out and is no longer in use.
