Milford Using SwiftReach Emergency Notification System
SwiftReach is an emergency notification system that will alert residents to situations like law enforcement alerts, severe storm warning, road closures, water problems, evacuations and more. Milford Police and the City of Milford have put this system into use – and residents can receive emergency notifications by registering at the Swift911 web portal or smartphone app. Milford will use this system in place of the CODE Red System.
