Alert registration open
Sewickley-area residents can still sign up for official borough emergency alerts. Sewickley partnered with the company to use CodeRED, a cloud-based software system that sends out messages to subscribers.
It is free to sign up for the alerts and there are multiple ways to register.
People can scan the QR code on the postcards to get to the site or text SewickleyAlerts (case sensitive) to 24639. They can also log into accountportal.onsolve.net/sewickleyalerts or fill out the information on the back of the postcards and send them to the borough office, 601 Thorn St. Residents can select how they want to receive the alert, such as text or email.
The alert system is strictly for emergencies and not all borough activities such as pancake breakfasts and festivals.
