New York City has enhanced its Notify NYC program, allowing residents to receive hyperlocal emergency alerts directly via text message. By texting "NOTIFYNYC" to 692-692 and entering their zip code, users can access tailored updates on various emergencies including transit delays and school closures. This initiative, part of a plan to improve emergency communication, aims to keep the city's 1.2 million subscribers informed and prepared. The service, managed by NYC Emergency Management, emphasizes Mayor Eric Adams’ commitment to resident safety through timely information dissemination.
This latest upgrade, part of a broader push to make emergency communication more accessible, includes zip code-specific alerts powered by the Nixle SMS platform.
We are committed to making New York City safer every day, but we cannot do that without providing New Yorkers with the most effective and accessible information when an emergency occurs.
