How to Manage Your Waltham Reverse 911 Calls

Ever wonder how you can unsubscribe or manage how the City of Waltham contacts you in the event of an emergency, such as the recent lockdown during the hunt for one of the Boston Marathon bombers?

Well, it is easy! To manage your contact preferences visit this site (don't forget to bookmark it!) From there, you can follow the menus and manage your preferences. Users can receive alerts and calls via text messages, home phones, cell phones, email and business phones. 

Please note, numbers published in the phonebook are automatically entered into the Reverse 911 system, according to Waltham 911 Dispatcher Scott Arnold.  Residents with cell phones only or with unpublished numbers are encouraged to sign up for the notifications as mobile phones are not automatically entered, Arnold said.
