On Wednesday, November 25, the City of Westmount will conduct a test of its emergency alert system using the Citizen portal. This test is part of the City's ongoing efforts to ensure it is prepared and able to communicate quickly with residents in a critical situation.
Under Québec's civil protection framework, municipalities are key actors in civil protection and must be able to warn the public about major safety concerns. In Westmount, emergency alerts are issued via the Citizen Portal.
This test follows recent updates to the system's configuration, and the City's ongoing campaign encouraging residents to create a Citizen Portal account. It will also give registered citizens an opportunity to confirm that they receive the alert successfully and provide feedback to help improve the system.
If you already have a Citizen Portal account, we recommend you to log in and confirm that your contact information and communication preferences are up to date:
If you do not yet have an account, we encourage you to create one before November 25 to ensure you receive important emergency notifications from the City.
We can help you create an account and set up your alerts. Call Westmount Assistance at 514 989-5200 or visit us at a service counter:
