PUBLIC SAFETY ALERTS AVAILABLE VIA TEXT OR EMAIL THROUGH NIXLE...
Pleasant Prairie uses a service called Nixle that allows public safety officials to send text messages and email to subscribers in the event of a public safety emergency such as: a missing child or person, police activity, evacuations, severe weather-related emergencies, and other dangerous situations. If a devastating weather or emergency event occurs, Nixle will be one of the Village's main channels of direct communication to residents regarding public safety information (and one of the fastest/most efficient).
The Village also posts emergency information to PleasantPrairieOnline.com, to Time Warner Cable Channel 25 or Channel 99 on AT&T U-Verse, Twitter, and communicates information to local media for broadcast via radio, television and the internet. In certain circumstances the Village will also request a reverse 911 call to landline telephones. As landline technology ages and as many households choose to live without a landline telephone, this option becomes a less reliable means of emergency contact.
