Nixle Emergency Notification System

Emergency response at The Villages has taken a giant leap forward. We now have a sophisticated community information and notification system in place that will connect residents to critical information when an emergency affects part or all of The Villages. (An added advantage: The system can also be used to send out information of general community interest.)

Thanks to recent action by the Club Board of Directors, the long-sought-after notification and communication system Nixle has been activated and will be used for water/power outages, road closures, fire, or other emergencies/disaster that impact us.  The introduction of Nixle closes a major loophole in Public Safety’s and the Emergency Preparedness Committee’s ability to communicate when it is most important to do so. When needed, the Public Safety Department will activate Nixle and residents will receive alerts by text, voice message (landline or cell phones) or a combination of these. However, to receive alerts, residents must “opt into” the system.  It’s easy.  Simply text Villages to 333111 or use the form on this page.
