Marin Alert System Changes: Where to Sign-Up
Cities will continue to use Nixle, so this will be an additional sign-up.
MARIN COUNTY, CA — Marin County has announced a move away from Nixle as its platform to send emergency alerts, saying people should now sign up at a new site to receive alerts about the county Sheriff's Office and Fire Department.
The Marin County Office of Emergency Management sent out a message late Thursday about the transition to AlertMarin and said people can sign up at Emergency.MarinCounty.gov.
The county said the transition "is part of our commitment to providing reliable, real-time emergency information through a single, trusted source."
