Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Urgent communication channels

[David Bygott (davidbygott]

We use an intra-community Slack network, mostly for nonessential chat, but it 
has an “alert” channel configured so that any message posted in that channel is 
automatically sent to everyone’s email and as a text message to everyone’s 
phone. It can thus reach everyone quickly and reliably. (Typically we use it 
for rattlesnakes - someone reports a rattlesnake, and someone else says, I’m on 
it, and hurries to catch and relocate the snake outside our supposedly 
snakeproof fence. Yeah, Wild West stuff). If the convo continues longer than an 
alert and a response, it can be annoying, as everyone receives every response, 
but we are getting better at that.
