Have You Heard About Nixle?

From the City’s website: The City of Davis is now using a citizen self-registering email and text messaging notification tool from Nixle.com. This tool will allow the City to send important City announcements to your email and/or phone. One of the unique features of this new tool is subscribers can specify multiple locations, such as a home address, a business address and a child’s school address. The city can then tailor messages to certain areas of town, if necessary. More information is available in the Nixle press release.
