How will I receive notice of a snow emergency?

When a snow emergency goes into effect, it will appear on the site homepage and on Salem Access Television (SATV). In addition, a CodeRed automated phone call will be made to all residents in Salem notifying them of the snow emergency. If you would like to add an additional phone number to this list or be taken off the list, you may update your information here or call 978-619-5601 for assistance.

Emergency email updates are also sent out to all whom are subscribed to the City's email subscriber list. You may subscribe to City News and Announcements by clicking here.
