Emergency Notification System is used for alerting residents and businesses in real-time for localized emergency situations and relevant community advisories. This system improves the safety of all our residents by giving us the ability to deliver not only telephone notifications but be able to provide these notifications by text and through social media outlets. Westport has instituted the Emergency Notification System so that we can notify areas of the town, or the entire town when there is an emergency situation that requires immediate action. 

And let other Westporters know they can register at www.nixle.com, or by simply texting 06880 to 888777 from their mobile phone.  Once registered, residents will receive a confirmation text to their mobile device.

Residents and businesses may also customize their alert settings by going to www.nixle.com and creating a User Profile.

Examples of when Westport might use Emergency Notification System to notify residents and businesses

• Drinking water contamination
• Utility and 911outages
• Evacuation notice
• Missing person
• Fires
• Flash Flood Warnings and Tornado Warning
• Bomb threat
• Hostage situation
