Beginning in January, the city is changing the vendor it uses for sending direct alerts about weather, public safety and road conditions. Residents who currently receive Nixle alerts will have to opt into the new system, operated by a company called Rave Mobile Safety.
“We don’t anticipate any operational changes,” said Audrey Gray, emergency programs manager with the municipality, during a brief virtual press conference Thursday.will function almost identically to the Nixle alerts many residents have received for years, although people will have to enroll with the new provider.
The Rave system offers new tools, including a mapping component, a polling function and targeted messaging to reach specific neighborhoods if, say, the city is dealing with highly localized emergency events.“Having an emergency warning and public communication system is crucial for a city like Anchorage that deals with natural disasters on a regular occurrence,” Mayor Dave Bronson said in a written statement.
