Peoria has launched a new community
information service designed to deliver important and timely information to
residents in our area using the latest technology. Nixle is a community
information service that alerts you to public safety threats and community
events via web, e-mail and cell phone. This service, created by Nixle, LLC,
delivers trustworthy and important neighborhood-level public safety and
community event notifications by web, e-mail, and cell phone.
Nixle is
completely free, simple, and trusted. Sign up at
www.nixle.com to register.
Nixle is a community information
service provider built exclusively to provide secure and reliable
communications. It is the first authenticated and secure service that connects
municipal agencies and community organizations to residents in real time,
delivering information to geographically targeted consumers over their cell
phones (via text messages), through e-mails and via Web access. Nixle has
secured a partnership with Nlets (the International Justice and Public Safety
Network), allowing local police departments nationwide to send immediate alerts
and advisories. Privately funded Nixle, which has offices in New Jersey and
California, is free to all governments, their agencies and organizations,
nongovernmental organizations and consumers. For more information, visit
www.nixle.com.
Nixle is just another resource the
City of Peoria is using to keep our residents and business community informed on
what is happening in our community. Nixle differs from Peoria’s Twitter,
Facebook and news release sites as Nixle is designed to deliver emergency
information rapidly over several sources and will include the city Twitter site.
