What else does Nixle provide?
Getting accurate local safety information when you need it is a challenge. Your ability to react to
severe weather warnings, evacuation orders, school alerts, and other critical information depends on
the accuracy and the immediacy of the information you receive. Founded in 2007, Nixle now works
with over 4600 public safety agencies across the US to ensure you get the vital information you need,
when you need it.
By simply sending a text message with your zip code to 888777, you are instantly registered to receive
text messages from local public safety agencies in your area. Want more control? Create a Nixle
account at www.nixle.com and tailor exactly what information you receive and how you want to
receive it – via text message, email, mobile application, or web browser.
Unlike social media networks such as Twitter and
Facebook, Nixle employs a thorough screening process
to verify that every agency joining the Nixle service is
authentic. Other security measures such as 2-step login
verification help to safeguard agency accounts beyond
the level of protection provided by other online services.
All of this is done to ensure that the messages you receive
from Nixle are genuine and reliable.
Nixle is not only for emergencies. Stay up to date on other
information affecting your community including traffic
alerts, safety tips, and local crime information with your
Nixle account. Messages always include a priority level so
you can immediately judge their urgency upon receipt.
Nixle also gives you the flexibility to direct messages
based on priority so you can receive urgent information
via text message and the rest via email.
