Rave Mobile Safety Replaces Everbridge Nixle Urgent Messaging System in Anchorage

Curated by: Gert Jan Wolf - Editor-in Chief for The Critical Communications Review

Public safety officials in Anchorage last week, announced that Rave Mobile Safety has replaced the previous Everbridge Nixle system.  

Like Nixle, Rave Mobile Safety is a free service that allows people to receive notifications sent from state and local authorities to stay informed on potentially hazardous situations involving weather, traffic, and other emergencies. 

The switch to Rave Mobile Safety allows residents to receive alerts via phone, text and email, and answer poll questions that will give MOA officials critical information during emergency situations. Those who are signed up for alerts will receive reliable information about emergencies, including tailored updates based on their specific needs and geographic location.

Individuals who were previously signed up for Everbridge Nixle are not automatically enrolled in Rave Mobile Safety and will need to sign up to Rave.
