Stay Informed

City of Madison residents have a few options to help them stay informed of happenings in Madison. This website, social media, departmental email newsletters and alerts, and even a texting service are used by the City.

Social Media

Many City departments have their own social media accounts. Links to these can be found on department pages.

Text Message Notification Service

The sole purpose of this service is to better serve and keep the citizens informed of situations within the city. Text the word 'MadisonSD' (no spaces, not case sensitive) to 33222 to sign up to receive text messages.

Messages cover a range of announcements (emergencies, snow alerts, energy alerts, garbage schedule updates, water main breaks, outages, City events, street closures, and more!).

Email Newsletters & Updates (Police Only)

The City uses MailChimp (a free bulk emailer) to send out our emails to residents; please check your spam filters to be sure emails are coming through after signup.
