Residents can stay up-to-date on community information by signing up for a FREE, new service offered at Nixle.com. Nixle is a new community information service provider built exclusively to provide secure, trustworthy, notifications by web, e-mail, and cell phone via text messages.
By signing up, Lee’s Summit residents will receive information from the City with varying degrees of importance. Information will be categorized as:
- Alerts – Police and Fire Public Safety Information (criminal activity, severe weather information, and road closures)
- Non-emergency – (cancellations)
Residents can choose the information they would like to receive and how they want to receive it, either by text message, e-mail, or Web. Nixle technology sends the messages simultaneously to e-mails AND in a text message to cell phones. All of the information posted is also visible at http://local.nixle.com/city/mo/lee’s-summit/ or by searching for Lee’s Summit at Nixle.com
Residents can also choose to receive additional notices from locations other than where they live or work. For example, a resident may wish to also be informed of urgent events in a location where a relative resides or a child is attending college. Nixle is FREE no matter how many cities you sign-up to receive information about.
Residents can change settings (the information they would like to receive and how they want to receive it) as often as preferred as well as opt out of the service at any time. Residents are also encouraged to read the FAQ section on the site to be aware of any specific technology issues/challenges with particular providers.
Register now and learn more about the service at www.nixle.com. Then share this new service with friends, family members, and neighbors to spread the word!
