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.
In order to receive
emergency text messages on your smart phone, visit NIXLE.com and follow
the directions you see there, using Pleasant Prairie’s zip code 53158.
You can also text “53158” to 888777 to opt-in.
The Village also posts emergency information to
www.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. Please consider
NIXLE today.
