Important changes have been made to the emergency notification system and they will affect the way you receive messages from the Village of Pleasant Prairie.
The Village will only be able to send emergency (red) alert notifications via text message. These types of notifications are saved for emergency circumstances only (e.g. shelter in place, natural disasters). These will still be sent via text message.
All other messages (non-emergency) will no longer be sent via text message. This means you will no longer receive text messages about events like snow emergencies and road closures.
These notifications can only be received via email.
If you wish to continue receiving ALL types of messages (emergency and non-emergency) from the Village, please sign up for email notifications at
Nixle.com. If you do not want to sign up for emails you can find us on Facebook (
facebook.com/Pleasant-Prairie-Police-Department and
facebook.com/villageofpleasantprairiewi) and Twitter (
twitter.com/pppd and
twitter.com/PlPrairieWI).
We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. We know how important communication is to our community, especially as it relates to safety. In a message to the department, Nixle noted increasing costs of SMS messages as the reason for the change. Thankfully, there are many ways to receive messages from the Village of Pleasant Prairie.
