County 9-1-1 in touch with the people

Thursday, April 19, 2012 - 7:00am

Pocahontas County 9-1-1 began to utilize a new communications service in early April that allows the agency to send important, 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 www.nixle.com

Messages may include Weather Alerts as well as other relevant safety and community event information.

The service is free, secure, reliable and easy to use.

Messages can be sent specifically to residents registered within a quarter 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 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 Pocahontas County and those in neighboring communities can immediately begin receiving pertinent information via text message, email and web by registering at www.nixle.com or at www.pocahontasemer gency.com.
