County offering public safety alert service

Posted

St. Johns County Emergency Management is using Nixle Alerts to provide another way for the public to stay updated with relevant information from the St. Johns County Emergency Operations Center. Anyone can text StJohnsEOC to 888777 to opt-in to receive notifications through SMS text messages. Nixle does not charge for this service, but carrier message and data rates may apply.

St. Johns County Emergency Management will use this service to alert residents of public safety advisories, natural and human-caused disasters and other significant events that may impact the community.

"As we move into the peak of hurricane season, we want to ensure we can reach as many residents as possible with pertinent public safety information," St. Johns County Emergency Management Deputy Director Kelly Wilson said. "Signing up for this service is an excellent way for the public to receive that information."
