Burlington County freeholder director Joe Donnelly announced today that the County will now be sending important messages and notifications to residents through Nixle.
Nixle is an emergency management communications system that allows government and public safety organizations to send notifications and alerts to registered e-mail addresses and cell phones.
“Nixle is a great way for our community to receive timely, accurate information from the County,” said Donnelly “Nixle will be used for community alerts and emergency notifications.” For example, weather conditions, road closures, important notices etc.
Donnelly said the new system was a significant step forward.
“Now, the community has the option of receiving information as soon as it is available and without any delays,” Donnelly said.
Residents can register online for free at www.nixle.com and choose whether to receive alerts as a text message, e-mail, a notification on the Nixle smartphone app, or to view it online.
“This is another step in our enhanced communication and transparency plan,” said Donnelly. “We want all of our residents to know exactly what is going on in the County.”
