The Hawaiʻi County Police Department announced that starting today, all emergency notifications will move from Nixle to the Everbridge system, the same platform already used by Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense.
With this change, Hawaiʻi Island residents can now get all their emergency alerts in one place, including updates about police activity, missing persons, road closures, severe weather, and natural disasters.
Sign up is free, and allows individuals to customize exactly which alerts they want to receive—whether they prefer text messages, emails, or phone calls to a landline or mobile phone.
