Town of Ocean Ridge

New Text Messaging System for Ocean Ridge

The Town of Ocean Ridge is thrilled to introduce TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service! This service will enable residents to effortlessly receive important notifications and easily find specific information by texting the city.

Our current system, Civic Ready, will only be used for actual EMERGENCIES (IE - Hurricanes, floods, missing persons, evacuations, etc).  


The Town of Ocean Ridge will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public on May 21, 2026. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the Town of Ocean Ridge initiating the service. You can choose to opt-out at any time by texting STOP.

If you don’t receive the initial message, you can choose to opt-in by texting the keyword OCEANRIDGE to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply YES to confirm opt-in. Residents may receive notifications for events, delays, newsletters, road closures, and power outages, lost pets, etc. For specific text alerts, text one of the following keywords to the number 91896:

The Town of Ocean Ridge’s use of this technology is another example of how our community enhances resident services by implementing 21st-century solutions.  We’re excited about this new way of communicating with residents and look forward to sharing important city notifications. Other governmental entities across the country are utilizing this system with great success. Stay informed, stay ahead.

Sincerely,
