| Why Email & Texting Alerts? |
When the Cincinnati bridge collapsed in 2007,
cell phone users could only initially call for
help. After a few minutes, cell phone voice
calls were either too congested or blocked for
use by emergency personnel. However, text
messaging still worked, even though there
were some delays.
Why did cell text messaging work when
cell phone voice calls didn't?
Data travels on a different network than voice
calls and because of its nature, can be
retransmitted by the network until it finally
reaches your phone. So, even in the event of
a brief data interruption, the network will
continually try to send your text messages
until they reach your cell phone!
This makes this ideal for emergency
notification, especially in the initial stages of
an emergency.

If you prefer, you can fill out a Manual Form and give
it to the membership clerk.
it to the membership clerk.
This form is a way for members of the of a
unit or ward to be a part of a email and text
alert system. Members would simply send
text and/or email IDs in the form. Then a
local church leader would load them into a
group email list. When there a change in the
Color Alert system, members could be auto-
matically be sent a brief message regarding
the alert. Monthly tests could occur on the
first Saturday of every month. All text and
email addresses would need to be in the
following format ....

If members have a cell phone that supports
text messaging and do not know what your
