Join our Text Message Alert System!

The City of Madison is excited to introduce a new service that will help it communicate with citizens and other area residents. The City’s new text message alert system will provide community members with important information and updates on City government almost instantaneously.

The City plans to use this system to send out alerts regarding road closures, boil-water advisories, severe weather warnings, park/pool closures, and other time-sensitive information.

To sign up for this text-message system, simply send “MADISON1” to the number “36000.” Once you do that, you will receive a confirmation message and will start receiving the City’s updates on your cell phone. You can always stop receiving the messages by simply replying to any received text message with the word STOP.

The City is offering this service through HomePages Directories “VIP Alert System.” There is no cost for citizens to sign up or receive text messages, although normal text message rates through your cell phone carrier may apply if your cell phone plan does not include unlimited text messaging.

If you have questions, please call Andrew Forrester, Executive Assistant for Community Relations, at 812-265-8300.
