If you’ve not yet subscribed to receive Nixle texts and emails alerting you to issues of immediate public concern such as evacuations and highway closures, we encourage you to do so.
Nixle is utilized by emergency service organizations for communicating information in the event of a natural disaster, and other emergencies.
Alaska State Troopers used Nixle to send out wildfire-related evacuation notices and, in conjunction with the Department of Transportation & Public Facilities’ 511.alaska.gov website, road closures.
Signing up is easy and there are several simple ways to do so. Here are a few:
💻Visit nixle.com and set up a user profile.
📱Text your zip code to 888-777 from you mobile phone. Once a response is received, follow the instructions with your email address to receive updates.
