Reminder to sign up for Office of Emergency Management Text Alerts
Hopewell Borough works with the Hopewell Valley Office of Emergency Management (OEM) to send out emergency phone and text notifications using Hopewell Township’s Everbridge System. We encourage all residents to also sign up for this service here. This service is separate from the Borough’s weekly email list and recommend signing up for both: one for emergencies and other for regular Borough communications.
