FAQs
Why is the City moving to Everbridge?
Everbridge provides the City with a modern notification platform to communicate important information quickly and efficiently.
If I’m already registered for Nixle, do I need to sign up for Everbridge?
Yes. While your existing Nixle information will transfer to Everbridge, creating an Everbridge account is important to ensure you have full access to the new system. Without an account, your ability to customize your notification preferences and manage your information through the Everbridge dashboard will be limited.
Once the City fully transitions away from Nixle, only users with an Everbridge account will continue to receive City notifications. We encourage all current Nixle users to create their Everbridge account now to ensure a seamless transition and stay connected to important City information.
Is Everbridge free?
Yes. There is no cost to residents to register or utilize this service.
What types of notifications will I receive?
Notifications may include emergency alerts, public safety information, road closures, weather-related information, service disruptions, and other important City updates.
How will I receive notifications?
You can select your preferred communication methods during registration, including available text, email, and phone options.
Can I choose what notifications I receive?
Yes. Creating an Everbridge account gives you access to the full capabilities of the platform, including managing your notification preferences and customizing how you receive information. We encourage all residents to create an account to get the most out of Everbridge and ensure they remain connected to important City notifications.
