Cascadia Commons in Portland, OR uses a "phone tree" for important notices
with short time leads.  One household is responsible to start the tree, on
request from any member with an urgent message.  The initiating household
calls three predesignated others, each of them calls three others... and so
on until everyone is reached.  If one can't reach the person to be called
within a reasonable time, one then calls their  people. 

We don't have to use it often, and it works quite well without too much
effort by anyone.
