Sign Up for Town Emergency Notifications

Emergency ServicesSwift911 Emergency Notification


The Swift911 Emergency Notification System provides the town with a mechanism to rapidly deliver a recorded notification via telephone, email or text message to targeted homes and businesses in the event that an emergency takes place within the town's jurisdiction. Such situations may include water main breaks, flooding, terrorist threats, hazardous materials emergencies, weather emergencies or natural disasters. Non-emergency contact may be made in the event of town Water Department pipe flushing, as temporary pressure variations and discoloration may occur.

Contact information in the Swift911 notification database is based on phone directories and other publicly available sources. If your telephone number is not published or if you wish to be contacted by alternate means (cell phone, email or text message), you can update your contact information using the form below. There are no fees for registration and those who do not wish to participate in this service may remove their number from the notification database at anytime by clicking "Remove" in the lower left corner of the form. Any calls you receive will have the Caller ID of "Town of Hempstead." The town's emergency notification system is NOT intended to inform residents of problems/emergencies related to other governmental jurisdictions (ie. independent water districts/companies, independent sanitary districts, village government operations, fire districts, county government, etc.).



For each entry (regardless if it is to add, change or remove a point of contact), you must enter your complete address, including house number, street name and suffix, town and zip code. Only include those telephone numbers (home, cell, business), text/SMS number and service provider and e-mail address at which you wish to be contacted should an emergency notification take place. The town will attempt to contact you at each of the contacts provided in the event of an emergency notification.
