North Myrtle Beach, SC – August 23, 2016 – On Monday,
August 29, between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m., the North Myrtle Beach Public
Safety Department will conduct a test of an enhancement to its Nixle emergency
notification system. The upgrade supports the automatic dialing of telephones
for major emergency voice alerts.
The test will connect
with residential land-lines in North Myrtle Beach and with cellphones
containing the Google application.
As part of its expanding Nixle service, along with the text
message and email notifications that area Nixle subscribers current receive
from the public safety department, residents who choose the additional phone
call option will receive calls on their land-lines and cellphones alerting them
to a variety of potential public safety issues that may have an impact on the
whole community, including threatening weather.
The content of the test voicemail will be as follows: “This
is a test of the City of North Myrtle Beach’s Nixle dial emergency notification
system. The Nixle dial telephone notification system will be used to deliver
emergency information to City residents. If you also want to receive email,
text and voice alerts on your cellphone, go to www.nixle.com
and create an account. This is only a test.”
