The Borough of Fox Chapel has adopted Fox Chapel Alert powered by Smart 911 to replace Nixle Emergency and Community Notification System. This new adoption will begin in the next few months. The Borough will continue sending notifications via Nixle while integrating Fox Chapel Alert until July 2022, when the Borough will completely switch over to using Fox Chapel Alert.

The Borough intends to use Fox Chapel Alert to communicate with residents about extreme weather, road closures, public health and safety concerns, bulletins for dangerous situations, and community event notifications. Fox Chapel Alert replaces the current system and will allow for customization, such as multilingual translations or population segmentation and location-based information.

Subscribers can set notification preferences for where they receive alerts (SMS text, push notification, email, or voice message) and for the type of alert ranging from emergency alerts, COVID-19 updates, special events, and traffic updates.

There is no charge to register for or use Fox Chapel Alert, and your personal information will be kept confidential. Registering for Fox Chapel Alert is quick and easy. Sign up for Fox Chapel Alert online by going to the following website: https://qrco.de/bcqiDQ.
