We would also like to take a moment to remind residents, those who work in the City of Methuen and visitors of Methuen to sign up for Methuen Smart911 Alerts. Smart911 allows residents to sign up online and provide vital information to 911 call takers during an emergency, allowing first responders to make faster and more informed responses. Residents and visitors can create a safety profile for their whole household that includes any information they might want 911 dispatchers and first responders to have in the event of an emergency, such as allergy information or pre-existing medical conditions. You can sign up by clicking the below link:

During this difficult time, we will continue to provide the most updated information available for all our residents to keep your families safe.
Rest assured your local government and first responders are hard at work preparing, planning and working towards preventing major disruptions in the services they provide.
