Hyper-Reach
EnsureThe Hyper-Reach system allows authorized Town officials to create and rapidly disseminate time-sensitive messages to every telephone number and email address stored in the notification database. With the Hyper-Reach system, authorized users can send thousands of messages in minutes. Only authorized officials are allowed access to the system - the database will NOT be shared with third parties.
Any message regarding the safety or welfare of our community would be disseminated using the Hyper-Reach service. Examples would include severe weather warnings and updates, hazardous traffic or road conditions inside the town or affecting local routes, and any other situation that could impact the safety, property, or welfare of our citizens. It is our intention and hope that every residence and commercial facility in our community be included in the notification database.

About the Maynard Emergency Management Agency
The Maynard Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is the Town agency responsible for coordinating federal, state, local, volunteer, and private resources during emergencies and disasters in the Town of Maynard. Emergency Management develops plans for effective response to all-hazards, disasters or threats, trains emergency personnel and volunteers to protect the public, provides information to residents, and assists individuals, families, and businesses to mitigate against, prepare for, and respond to and recover from emergencies, both natural and manmade.
The Emergency Management Director (EMD) serves as the Chairman of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). The LEPC is the planning side of the Town's department-wide response to emergencies. The Maynard EMA continued using the state's web-based emergency management communications system, WebEOC, to provide real-time information sharing during natural and man-made incidents. The EMD worked closely with staff from the MEMA Region 1 Office in Tewksbury and Framingham Headquarters. In addition, staff attended several Local Directors Meetings and various stakeholder meetings/trainings throughout the state.

LATEST HYPER-REACH PHONE & EMAIL MESSAGE
Wednesday December 31, 2025
Good afternoon from the Town of Maynard.
Due to a calculation error by our printing company, the printed third-quarter real estate tax bills mailed yesterday do not represent accurate amounts due. Corrected copies will be mailed on Friday, and we have followed up with our bill printer to ensure the issue is addressed and will not happen again. Mortgage companies and financial institutions remitting payments on behalf of taxpayers received the correct information and are not affected by this error.
We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please contact the Treasurer/Collector’s office at 978-897-1305. Thank you.
