Using the free Nixle keeps you informed
By Shannon Harris

[April 13, 2022]   Hello, I’m Shannon and I have been working as a 911 telecommunicator for almost 3 years. Have you heard of Nixle? Nixle provides a mass communications hub for government agencies to provide secure and important information in real time.

We utilize Nixle in Logan County to warn residents of impending severe weather, road closures, water work issues, and important police activity. Nixle alerts can be sent out via text, email, voice, web and social media sites.

As a resident, you may sign up for free. There are a couple of ways to register: you can text LOGAN911EMA to 888777 from your mobile phone, or you may go to http://www.logancountyil.gov/ema and click on the link on the right side of the website.

Once you are registered, you will receive a confirmation message on your phone and will start receiving important messages when they are sent out.

This is an important service that allows residents to stay informed with the latest and most reliable information. You can also like the Logan County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page to receive more non-emergent and emergent information.
