In the event of an emergency or critical event, the Town of Dedham will use CodeRed, an emergency notification system, that will quickly deliver information to residents via landline, mobile phone, email, and text (based on resident preferences selected at the time of registration).

Registration is recommended for all Dedham residents. If you are not yet registered to receive CodeRed alerts or if you would like to verify your registration status, please visit the Town of Dedham, MA CodeRed Sign Up page. You can also Opt-Out of these notifications using the same link.

Please note: CodeRED is used sparingly and is reserved for emergency situations.

The Town has introduced a new platform called "Be Heard Dedham" to gather community feedback and provide updates on projects and initiatives.

Serving as a central hub for information and resources, this portal, powered by EngagementHQ, allows the Town to receive new ideas and feedback directly from residents. It also facilitates the sharing of stories and educational content, ensuring that every community member feels informed and empowered.

As this portal continues to expand, we encourage you to stay tuned for future updates and enhancements!

If you have questions about our Be Heard Dedham portal, please contact Amanda Smith, Director of Communications at asmith@dedham-ma.gov.
