Construction work hours are from 7:30 AM through completion. Access to the street will be limited to emergency vehicles ONLY during the project. There will be some inconveniences through the work zone; however, every effort will be made to assure that any and all inconveniences are kept to a minimum.

** Enroll in the Borough's New Emergency Alert System **
The Borough of North Caldwell is able to send you emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or phone call (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. This service is currently provided through a combination of Nixle and CodeRed (Reverse911). On May 1st, all of these services will be provided by one provider - CivicReady. Please visit the following link (https://public.alertsense.com/SignUp/?regionid=1657) to enroll in the new emergency alert system. It is important that you enroll through this website because your current data will not be automatically imported from the previous providers. As such, you must enroll with CivicReady to continue receiving alerts as previous providers will be discontinued.
The system is intended to be used for emergency alerts, as well as non-emergency incidents that may have significant impacts to residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action be taken such as evacuation, shelter in place, boil water orders, etc. Non-emergency alerts could include road closures, water main breaks or significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and demonstrates that this system will not be used for routine information. In addition to receiving information on your wireless device, you may also receive notification on your land telephone line (if you have one) depending on the type of incident or event.
Please provide your address and preferred method(s) of contact on the above link. Adding your address will improve your personalized messages so you do not receive alerts that do not pertain to your geographical area.
These alerts are provided free of charge, however standard text messaging rates and other charges may apply.
If you wish to subscribe to SMS text messages only, text your zip code to 38276. There is also a mobile app available which can be downloaded from GooglePlay, the AppStore and from the registration page provided above.
