Thursday, January 19, 2023 - The Sequoyah County Emergency Management Office has partnered with Nixle to implement its Community Notification System to alert residents in real-time for localized emergency situations and relevant community advisories.
As a resident, there are several simple ways to register:

2. Go to www.nixle.com and sign-up through the resident tab.
Once registered, residents will receive a confirmation text to their mobile device. Residents may also customize their alert settings by going to www.nixle.com and creating a User Profile.
"We here at Sequoyah County Emergency Management are very excited to have this tool at our disposal. The ability to send out alerts directly to Sequoyah County resident phones will be unmatched in practicality and versatility. These alerts will include weather and other emergencies approaching, and in Sequoyah County. The service is secure, reliable and easy to use for our organization," stated Sequoyah County Emergency Management Deputy Director Johnathon Teague.
