What is the Notify Norwalk service?

The Notify Norwalk service allows authorized civic leaders to create and rapidly disseminate time-sensitive messages to every telephone number stored in the notification database. With the Notify Norwalk service, authorized users can send thousands of messages in minutes. Only authorized officials are allowed access to the system. The database for the City of Norwalk currently consists of listed numbers, to add additional contact information for your household (cell phone, TTY, e-mail, etc) or to add your unlisted number and additional points of contact to our database, please register.
