As part of the town branding process, we are inviting community members to take a short survey to help reflect what makes Casco special and what we hope for its future.
The survey builds on the recent community workshops and is open to anyone who cares about Casco. It should take less than 10 minutes to complete, and there are no right or wrong answers. Your perspective will help shape how Casco tells its story moving forward. Please consider taking the survey and sharing it with friends, neighbors, or others who may want to participate. Survey will be open until March 8th.
Thank you for taking the time to contribute and for being part of this process. FMI please contact Courtney Walsh at 401-932-9227 or hello@cocowalshcreative.com

New Cumberland County
Emergency Alert System
Cumberland County has transitioned to a new emergency notification system. This alert system provides critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as severe weather, unexpected road closures, missing persons, and evacuations of buildings or neighborhoods.
The Rave Alert system, powered by Smart911, allows residents or visitors to register their addresses with the County. When a disaster impacts that address, they can receive an alert and important instructions via phone call, text or email. The new Smart911 system allows you to enter multiple addresses. You can add your home, work, camp, any location that you choose.
This new alert system replaces the previous CodeRed system. Anyone wishing to continue to receive alerts must subscribe to the new Rave Alert system. For additional information and to sign up please visit Cumberland County Emergency Alerts or call 207-893-2810.
