How Do I Receive Emergency Notifications In Milford?

You Ask … Patch Answers is a weekly column for locals looking for solutions to community problems, issues and those "only around here" situations that you want solved.

It is easier than ever to keep up-to-date on what is happening in your community, especially when it comes to emergency information.

The Milford Fire Department uses a service called NIXLE that sends emergency notifications to citizens through text, email and web alerts. It is free and simple to set up, but  standard text message rates will apply for cell phone subscribers who do not have text plans. There is no spam through this service.

This service will also send notices when the new Milford parking ban ordinance is in effect.

For more details on the benefits of using Nixle and how to subscribe please see the town’s web site at Fire Department/Office of Emergency Management/Community Notification Program via Nixle. For specific details or questions regarding  Milford’s community notification program utilized through Nixle, please contact the Fire Department /Office of Emergency Management at 249-0680.
