RUMSON EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS

Nixle Municipal Wire System

Rumson has instituted a new Municipal_Wire system that enables our police department to communicate important, neighborhood-level information to our residents using text messaging and email.

This service is provided by Nixle, and is the first standardized, secure, and certified communication platform for local police departments, municipalities, and their agencies. Nixle's Municipal Wire is available at no cost to residents or police departments, and uses the same compelling model as social applications, such as Twitter and Facebook, while adding the security that is critical to ensure information received by users is Trusted and Accurate.

The Nixle SMS distribution network supports highly-elevated levels of performance and reliability that are necessary for emergency-grade communications. The Nixle SMS distribution network can reach 100,000 users in approximately 3 minutes, while standard messaging and social messaging networks can take up to 100 times as long (up to 5 hours).

THIS SYSTEM WILL ONLY BE USED TO ISSUE EMERGENCY ALERTS AND ADVISORIES.

The Residential Registration link, below, allows you to supply your own information, which helps us ensure a more accurate database, and allows you to input the cell phone numbers and email addresses you wish to be part of the network. This enhances our ability to reach you with essential emerency information.

Please click on the secure link below and take a moment to fill in the appropriate information to use this service to be notified by the Rumson police of emergency situations or critical community alerts.

Please note:
Municipal Wire emails are sent from "TheNixleTeam@emails.nixle.com". After you register, please be sure to add this email address to your online AND PC mail programs. This will prevent the Municipal Wire messages from ending up in your junk mail folder.

Thank you. It is our goal to keep all Rumson residents informed of emergency conditions so that everyone stays safe. With the Nixle Municipal Wire service, we continue to enhance our capability to do so.
