New Milford has launched a new alert system for residents.  The opt-in system will allow residents to be notified via voice or text.  Mayor Pete Bass says the town purchased an add-on to CT Alerts.  It will allow New Milford officials to send out information on everything from road closures to special events.  It will also be used for real-time updates in certain circumstances.  CT Alerts is a statewide notification system to disseminate essential information during emergency situations. Residents can sign up through a hyperlink, Bass mentioned at the Town Council meeting.
