Emergency Preparedness

Swift911

In our efforts to provide more reliable communications with Residents and Businesses in the City, we have implemented Swiftreach Networks, Inc. as our Emergency Notification service provider. Swift911™ in its simplest form is a system that makes phone calls to specific people or areas in the event of an emergency or for sharing important information.

All the calls you receive will have the Caller ID of 'Beverly City Hall.' If you are not receiving these calls, please fill out the form below to add or update your contact information. You may also remove yourself from our lists.

Typical alerts that you can expect to receive are: snow emergencies; city-wide announcements, such as the start/stop of a parking restriction; public health alerts and public safety alerts.

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) system was founded by the federal government shorty after 9/11. The national system brings together people who have health care skills with citizen volunteers. MRC units are trained and prepared to respond as a team to emergencies in their communities. The members may provide education, outreach and various health services throughout the year .MRC units function as part of local emergency preparedness teams. They supplement existing public health resources and emergency agencies such as Red Cross, local public health, fire, police and ambulance services.
