Media
Welcome to the Village’s media page. The Village uses several methods to communicate with various audiences. We use social media, email, and text subscription services, CodeRED alerts (via text, email, and phone), video programming, flyers, and media releases.
Additional information regarding access to the Village’s media content can be found below. If you have any questions you can contact Carin Faulkner, Public Information Officer via email at public.information@villagebhi.org or by phone at (910) 457-9700 ext. 1025.
SOCIAL MEDIA
The Village uses social media as a bulletin board to reach a broad audience.
Suppose you have family members or guests who need to know about weather hazards, safety tips for driving golf carts, the Village’s ordinances, etc. In that case, we encourage you to share our social media channels with them so they can like, follow and subscribe to our channels to stay informed.
If you do not use social media, you can still view our channels online by clicking the links below. If you find that you want to check for Village news often, you can bookmark this page or our Linktree (https://linktr.ee/villagebhi) in your browser. You can also bookmark this page, our Linktree or any of our social media channel pages to your home screen on your cell phone. This will give you instant access to our content.

E-MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS & ALERTS
Residents and property owners receive direct communications via email through our subscription service which is used to send out the monthly Village’s Voice e-newsletter, a quarterly Message from the Mayor, and announcements.
The Village also uses the CodeRED notification system to send alerts via text/email/phone for emergency alerts, updates about special events (tropical storms, hurricanes), and water and sewer service notices.
In addition to our email and CodeRED notification system, the Village has a new communication method called “TextMyGov”. Islanders can sign up to receive text notifications on non-emergency information that the Village needs to get out such as road closings, weather delays/closings, trash service updates, events, etc.
If you are interested in signing up for these direct communications, please click on the logos below.
BHI TV
The Village can broadcast video content on TV screens in Village offices. Currently, TVs are installed in the Island Package Center/Post Office and Contractor Services which broadcast content created for customers who frequent those locations. There are plans to add a TV in a public area of the Department of Public Safety.
Village Hall has a TV that broadcasts video content from the Village’s YouTube playlist. You can view that content 24/7 below.
