Santa Clarita uses Nixle for messages and a separate emergency site

Santa Clarita residents can text SCEMERGENCY to 888777 for Nixle messages, while the city activates a separate emergency website during a disaster.

Santa Clarita’s Nixle system sends city information by text and email. To register one phone by text, send SCEMERGENCY to 888777. Standard messaging rates can apply.

The city’s preparedness page is the before-an-emergency shelf. It gathers evacuation guidance plus links for outages, animals, earthquakes, heat, wildfire, insurance, air quality, roads, and weather. Use it to make the plan and save the right official pages.

The live-event shelf is different. When a disaster occurs, the city activates SantaClaritaEmergency.com for updates. Nixle can bring a message to the phone, while that emergency site can carry the fuller incident information. Current instructions from fire, law enforcement, or other public-safety officials still control.

Set up Nixle now, then write down two possible ways out of the neighborhood and who handles animals, medicine, documents, and school pickup. That small plan is especially useful where a canyon road or major route may be busy.
