Residents and businesses that receive updates from the Plainsboro Police through Nixle will need to register on the township’s new website — PlainsboroNJ.com — to receive future notifications.
Beginning July 15, the township will no longer utilize Nixle. All notifications for road closings, hazardous weather conditions, emergency situations, and other informational broadcasts will be made through the township’s new and enhanced website, which debuted in May.
A statement released Tuesday, June 12, referenced one of the goals of Plainsboro’s new website: “to expand the township’s ability to communicate directly with citizens and businesses, especially during times of emergency, by using various methods of electronic notification as well as social media such as Facebook and Twitter.”
Registering on the website allows participants to receive emergency information via text, E-mail, or phone. Those using the new website can also choose to receive alerts about other township information, such as tax payment reminders or notifications of public events.
