FAQ

What messages would I receive through Nixle?
Only authenticated agencies and community organizations can securely publish information. There are three types of messages; Alerts (many would refer to this as an emergency type alert), Advisories (less urgent need-to-know information), and Community Information (day-to-day neighborhood to community-level information).

IMPORTANT You will only receive notifications for agencies that you subscribe to. If you subscribe only to Washington Township you will only receive messages from Washington Township. To also receive messages from Romeo Washington Bruce Parks & Rec, Michigan State Police or other agencies, you will need to subscribe to them separately using the registration "Sign Up" box on that agency's website or by logging into your account on Nixle.com.
