Emergency Notification List

[Glenn]

Due to recent events, I see a need for a email list that can be used to quickly get information out to folks. The idea is to keep the blacksmithing community informed quickly of events such as a death or other reasons. Think of it as the fire siren, when it blows, you know something has gone wrong for someone.

There first needs to be some discussion as to what qualifies as a reason to activate the list, and some type criteria set up. Any suggestions ?

For those that want on the list, email me or PM and I will add your name.

I think that the list should only be activated in the event of death or serious injury. It may serve as well if by some reason someone has an article stolen, or other property loss (Shop Burns, tornado damage, ect..)

GLENN; You can just fly this one by the seat of your pants. The obvious--Death, serious injury, large thefts. You can imagine what would have went down if we had not known of PawPaw's passing.

In the event of someone running off with someones wife, daughter, kinda hold back. They make bring them back. If the blacksmith does not move without leaving a forwarding address.BOG.

If the bill collectors and credit card people are coming, well that might indicate an emergency, heh heh.

Good luck

Flying it by the seat of the pants seems as good as any. :wink:

Several of the blacksmithing and welding groups I belong to have a notification system, as we are so spread out.

Our Criteria are;

1. Death, Serious injury or life threatening disease or operation - of an immediate family member, Mother, Father, Spouse, Child

2. Major Break in or Theft

3. Contractors or Companies who don't pay bills

4. Upcoming Shop or Equipment Sales or Auctions



Most of us are not connected by Internet, so its a phone system mainly, one person notifies 3 or 4 others that are close, they notify 3 or 4, and it just keeps going till there are non left
