This system allows residents to receive the following types of alerts and notifications
- Emergency Alerts (i.e. tornado warning, major water issues)
- Advisory Notifications (i.e. road closures, police activity, severe weather)
- Community Notification (i.e. town hall updates, event information)
Sign up by texting "Fairview" to 888-777. Then, send your email address via text to 888-777, so Nixle can shift advisory notifications and community notifications to your email inbox, reserving text messaging for emergency alerts that need your urgent attention.
