The Town of Gorham is pleased to announce the launch of our new public notification system, Broadcast.

Broadcast is designed to provide residents, business owners, and all other stakeholders with timely updates about important happenings in town. Notifications may include, but are not limited to:

• Public safety alerts and road hazard updates • Elections and voting information • Public meetings and hearings* • Community and recreation events

Those interested in receiving updates can sign up for Broadcast at the link provided here. Subscribers may choose to receive notifications via email, SMS**, or both. Please note that SMS notifications require a mobile phone number, and voice call notifications are not currently available.

All subscribers will initially receive every type of notification sent by the Town. However, you may customize your preferences at any time by returning to the signup link, selecting Manage Subscription, and entering your email address or phone number. While preferences can be tailored, the Town reserves the right to send important notifications to all subscribers when necessary.

We are excited to offer this new service and encourage all interested community members to take advantage of this enhanced communication tool.

*This system is not connected to the “Agendas” module on the Town website. Subscribers will not receive alerts for every individual meeting; notifications will be sent selectively, and intentionally.

**Standard message and data rates may apply. SMS messages may be delivered in multiple parts depending on carrier requirements.
