Nixle Alerts Now Available to Aberdeen Residents

The following is a press release from Aberdeen Township:

Aberdeen Township has joined forces with Nixle.com, a provider of mass notification services for public safety agencies, to provide residents and local businesses with e-mail and text alerts. 

This new service, which is free of charge to the Township, will operate along with the Code Red system currently in place. Code Red, which provides alerts via telephone, e-mail and text, will remain the only phone notification system in use at this time, while Nixle will provide alerts by e-mail and text only.

Nixle will mainly be used for low level notifications, while Code Red will be used primarily for serious emergencies. However, residents can customize Nixle to receive specific types of announcements. 

Those wishing to receive alerts via Nixle can sign up by visiting the Aberdeen Township website www.aberdeennj.org or the township’s Facebook page.  They can also register by sending a text message with their zip code to 888777. Online registration is also available at www.nixle.com.

“Residents and businesses are strongly advised to sign up for Nixle and Code Red in order to receive all levels of notifications, from routine announcements to emergency notifications,” explains Aberdeen Township Manager Holly Reycraft.

Founded in 2007, Nixle is the leader in trusted notification services for law enforcement and government agencies. More than 4,600 government agencies throughout the United States use Nixle to communicate with residents via SMS mobile text messaging, email, the Web, and mobile applications.
