Morton Township Fire and Rescue has implemented software that could help you and your family during an emergency. Community Connect is a secure site that allows you to enter information such as the number of people in the home, if you have any pets, your emergency contact information, and if you have special requirements such as difficulty hearing or mobility needs. Please click the link to Community Connect and fill out your information so that the Morton Township Fire and Rescue Team can respond quickly if there is an emergency in your home.
Beginning May 7, 2025, travelers may be impacted by the need for more security-compliant ID. This new federal standard, “REAL ID”, is a security measure that sets a higher standard for identification. Without the proper ID, an individual might not be able to board an airplane or enter some federal facilities. For some, this might mean getting a new driver’s license or state ID. A "REAL ID" is considered a passport or an enhanced driver’s license.
