City of Salem Mayor, Justin Green, is pleased to announce the new implementation of the Reach Alarm System for the City of Salem. This system will allow critical information to be shared with Salem residents in a timely manner. Boil water advisories, broken water lines or other emergencies in the city will be shared by Reach Alert to help keep our community safe and informed.

“The recent water events we experienced prompted us to take action to implement this alert system. We want to make sure residents can stay up to date on emergencies and other important information,” said Mayor Green.

Mayor Green would like to encourage every household to sign up to receive these important alerts. You may sign up to receive these alerts from the City of Salem in any of the following manners: text message, voice call, and or email.
