Fast and efficient communication

With mass texting, you can send a message to as many contacts as you need to within minutes. This ensures that quick action can be taken in critical events such as severe weather warnings.

Real-time updates

Using a mass texting service allows you to keep your contacts in the loop throughout the severe weather, and ensures your contacts are constantly taking precautions against imminent threats. Some severe weather, such as hurricane flooding or fire weather, can last for days, so being able to provide real-time updates is a massive benefit to text message alerts.

Gather responses with two-way texting

By using two-way texting, you can easily hold conversations with your contacts during extreme weather instead of being in the dark about whether they understand your message or not. You could even send out a survey to gain insight into whether your contacts are taking the proper precautions for the weather.

For example, during a freeze, you could send a message to your tenants asking if they're dripping their faucets and to respond "YES" if they are.

Questions about severe weather alerts

How do I send an emergency weather text alert to my contacts?
What should I include in my severe weather message?

In general, a severe weather alert message should include information about the type of weather event, its severity, and the areas affected.

Here are some other things you should include in your message regarding severe weather:

• Explanation: Provide a clear explanation of the situation, and why it's important to take the necessary precautions. You can quickly gather this information from your local weather warnings issued by the national weather service.

• Instructions: Give clear instructions on what your contacts should do given the situation (i.e. drip their faucets, take shelter, or evacuate).

• Emergency contact information: Make sure to include contact information your tenants can reach out to if they need assistance during the emergency or if they have any questions.
What are some benefits of sending a weather alert via text?

One of the primary benefits of sending a weather alert via text message is immediacy. When emergencies strike, the situations often require quick action, and using text ensures that everyone will receive alerts quickly.

Another benefit is the accessibility of texting. While in this day and age, not everyone may not be watching cable or listening to a radio, most people have mobile devices and can receive text messages.
