New Jersey first responders can deliver real-time alerts
Mobile users who subscribe to the free Nixle Connect emergency alert service now can receive real-time alerts from the New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management. The alerts, which are sent by Nixle on behalf of 4,800 U.S. government agencies, include emergency alerts, reports of missing persons (including AMBER Alerts), traffic incidents with extended delays, crime information, safety tips, community outreach programs, and other public-safety information.
“If there’s a snow emergency, a manmade/natural disaster, or a serious traffic tie-up, subscribing agencies can alert Nixle Connect users in their geographic area just by sending the alert to us,” said Travis Scott, Nixle’s vice president of agency relations. “We immediately alert the relevant Nixle subscribers via text/SMS, e-mail and Internet postings.”
