9-1-1ELERTS immediately sends an alert to your PPN via email, text or voice message. When you sign up for 9-1-1ELERTS, you and the people in your PPN will designate how they would like the alerts to be delivered to them.

If your preference is to have the alerts sent by text message to your network, then 9-1-1ELERTS emails your friends and family network asking them to enter their cell phone numbers and opt into the text alerts program. When they text back the code to accept, they will receive your 9-1-1ELERTS via text message in addition to email alerts. You should advise your PPN to check their text messaging plans with their cell phone carriers so as not to induce extra costs for them when they receive 9-1-1ELERTS.
