What is AlertsMA?
AlertsMA is a communication tool that allows Massachusetts government organizations to notify staff and stakeholders about safety situations and other important events using people's preferred communication methods.
Employees, including contracted employees, can choose they want to be notified including:
- Text Message
- Phone Call
- Mobile App
AlertsMA messages can be received on work or personal devices.
How AlertsMA for Employees works
An AlertsMA profile will automatically be created for executive branch employees using their work email listed in the Commonwealth’s human resource system HR/CMS. You will receive an email invitation to register and choose if/how you want to be notified in addition to work email. You can also choose specific buildings/locations about which to be notified. Any contact information you enter will be used for AlertsMA notification purposes only and will not be shared.
See the Employee Choice information sheet for additional information.
Missing your email invitation?
New staff are sent invitations on a monthly basis based on their HR/CMS information. If you did not receive an expected email invitation, please:
- Confirm with your HR liaison that you have a work email listed in HR/CMS.
- Check your junk and other email folders.
If you are still unable to find the invitation, please email alertsma@mass.gov.
Note: AlertsMA email invitations are specific to each person. Please do not forward your invitation to someone else or use someone else’s invitation.
