The Town of Bourne has completed our change over to a new GeoCast Web and Communicator NXT notification system that replaces our old computer based Reverse 911 system. Residents can now upload and update any new Verizon and Non-Verizon phone numbers directly into the database. Use the following link and follow directions: townofbourne.onthealert.com. Verizon numbers will be updated quarterly by the company hosting the site, but you can make any necessary changes to any of your local and cell phone numbers and input non-Verizon local and cell phone numbers directly with this link. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the Board of Health office at 508-759-0615 x 1.   Cynthia A. Coffin

The Community Care Program is offered as part of the Town of Bourne Emergency Notification System, now known as GeoCast Web/ Communicator NXT. The program allows residents to sign up themselves, or loved ones, to received scheduled calls to check on their well-being.  This is how the system works:

If someone is interested in having an automated daily, weekly, monthly, etc phone call made to a senior or special needs person living in the Town of Bourne they would need to print out the Community Care Release and Application Form.  Fill out the necessary information with the person's name, anddress, and phone number, when you want the call made, and designate a person(s), with phone number(s), who will be called in the event that the registrant does not respond properly to the scheduled call. Bring that filled-out, signed form to the Board of Health office. The Board of Health will set up the call. When a registrant is called a pretaped message is generated and at the end of the call the registrant will follow the directions in order to confirm receipt of the call. If the confirmation is not made, then the person(s) who is(are) designated as the response person(s) will receive a phone call to let them know that there may be a situation with their family member, etc.  The service is offered free to residents. The Board of Health will take care of setting up the service.  CORIs are not required for any designated contacts.
