| HUNTERDON COUNTY RAPID NOTIFY ALERT LIST The Rapid Notify System is a software application used to send emergency alert notifications and updates to a large number of people. The system is capable of simultaneously sending an alert to thousands of people over communication platforms such as email, telephone, cell phone, SMS text message, pager and PDA. Mass notification systems are typically used to issue voice or text messaging alerting response personnel to the presence of the emergency as well as instructing residents of specific areas on how best to reduce their risk of harm in potentially life threatening situations. Rapid Notify may be used to alert you in situations such as: Large Fires, Chemical Spills, Contaminated Water, Evacuation Notices, Severe Weather and Police Activity. The County now offers a Self Registration module which allows you to maintain or change your information as necessary. It is available at the County Website at http://www.co.hunterdon.nj.us/rapidnotify.htm * If you have previously registered for the CAN Alert, you do not need to register for the Hunterdon County Rapid Notify Alert List.* |
Subject: New Community Information Service
The Holland Township Police Department has launched a new Community Notification Service called "Nixle" to improve
communication with people who live, work, and visit our area. The system provides a quick, efficient, and secure way to
get neighborhood-level information out to community members who subscribe to the system. Through www.nixle.com the
department will be able to send text message (SMS) and e-mail alerts to subscribers in a specific area, down to a 1/4 of a
mile. Notifications might be considered in the following examples:
1) A missing child or an adult with Alzheimer’s disease walks away from their home. The alert can include a picture of the
child or adult with a map identifying the area at which they were last seen.
2) A public safety emergency which requires people to stay in or remain away from their homes. A Nixle alert can let
residents with a registered address in the affected neighborhood know what’s happening, allowing residents to take a
proactive role in their own safety.
3) A serious injury or fatal crash in which traffic investigators close down the intersection for several hours during the
morning commute. This situation might warrant a notification to subscribers who live or work in the area, encouraging
them to select a different route to work.
4) Other uses: Large-scale public works projects, traffic safety implications around large fire scenes, community events
such as parades, fireworks, picnics, etc., details about a case of H1N1 (“swine flu”) in the area, special township council
meeting information, utility outage advisories.
Through Nixle, we will deliver messages securely to citizens by e-mail and cell phone, supporting and expanding our
community outreach efforts. Obviously, the system will be most effective when we have large numbers of subscribers.
Please spread the word about our use of the system to your family and friends. If your family members or friends are not
connected to the internet you can assist them in registering for nixle through your internet service and they can receive
updates via their cell phones. Nixle is a secure communications service available to municipal, county, and state
government agencies. There is NO spam or advertising associated with Nixle Municipal Wire messages. The system is
available at no cost (standard text message rates apply for subscribers who do not have text plans with their cell phone
providers).
In addition to this new system, Holland Township Police Department will still continue to utilize the Rapid Notify System
when serious situations arise.
