Email and Text Alerts

NOTICE:

As of July 15, 2025, Hawai’i Police Department is switching from Nixle to the Everbridge Emergency Notification System.

Now Hawaii County residents and visitors can receive emergency notifications from one source! Hawaii Police Department’s emergency notifications, previously under Nixle will now be located on Everbridge under Civil Defense. By signing up for Hawaii Police Department notifications, you can be notified of neighborhood police activity, runaways, missing persons, and more. You will receive time-sensitive messages in any communication media you specify, such as your home, mobile, and business phones, email addresses, text messages, and more. You pick where, you pick how.
