Emergency Alerting System

St Croix Squadron uses a vendor called Rained Out for Emergency Alerting in addition to regular e-mail.  The Rained Out service is free, however, they add a small, one-line advertisement at the end of each message.  CAP does not endorse any of the services advertised.

The following lists are available:

MN122ALL is for every member.  This is used for meeting and activity cancellations or any other urgent messages for all members.  You will receive one administrative message a month as a test.

MN122AirCrew:  Any members who are qualified aircrew members or air crew member trainees.

MN122GroundTeam:  Any members who are qualified ground team members or ground team member trainees.

MN122MissionBase:  Any member who has completed their General Emergency Services Test can sign up for this.  In addition, any members with a mission base qualification or in a mission base trainee status should sign up.

To sign up for any of these lists to your cell phone texting, you simply send the name of the list to the number: 84483.

For Example:

To sign up for ground team:
Go to your texting software
Enter the number 84483
In the message line, type:       MN122GroundTeam
Hit Send.
After about a minute, you will receive a message indicating that you are signed up for the list.

Repeat this process for as many lists as you wish to sign up for.
