Email
and Text Emergency Notification
Cleveland/Bradley County
Emergency Management Agency now utilizes a new communications service which
allows us to send valuable community information directly to residents using
the latest technology.
The Nixle Community Information
Service allows us to create and publish messages to be delivered to subscribed
residents instantly via cell phone text message and/or email. Notifications can
also be accessed online at Nixle’s web site at
www.nixle.com
.
It is the responsibility of the
Emergency Management Agency to inform the public of actual or impending large
scale incidents.
Our duty is to inform
the public of:
-
What the actual situation is.
-
What emergency responders are doing to help the situation.
-
What they need to do to stay out of the incident or what they
can do to help the situation.
The
service is secure, reliable and easy to use for our group.
Messages will be prioritized as
Alerts
(weather warnings, severe storms),
Advisories
(school closings, missing
persons), or Community
(Smoke
testing, Block Party street closings) messages and may include other
relevant safety and community event information.
The messages can be sent
specifically to residents registered within a ¼ mile radius, giving them the
opportunity to receive trustworthy information relevant only to their
neighborhood. Residents decide from which local agencies they want to receive
information. Subscribers can also choose which of the three messages are
received and the way in which alerts are received, whether it is by email, text
message, or over the web.
Nixle
builds on the foundations of other public-to-public communication services,
such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace, but adds a key component: security.
When citizens receive information from our agency via Nixle, they know it can
be trusted.
Residents
of Cleveland/Bradley County
and those in
neighboring communities can immediately begin receiving pertinent information
via text message, email, and web by registering
below or at
