ADMIN EAS, here it is - UPDATE YOUR INFO - GIT ‘R DONE IF YER GONNA

[Green Co.]

Ok folks, seems we have the EAS system repaired enough for me to start adding & editing. PLEASE, if you have sent a request in the last few months, I STILL have it, and will get to it, and advise you when it's completed, so don't deluge this post with requests. Give me a few hours.

 

[59 MGk.]

Ok not sure if I asked yet. If not can you add me?

 

[Dennis Olson]

To be added, you need to supply the following info:

1-3 email addresses

and/or

1-3 cell phone numbers

Your STATE OF RESIDENCE (will explain below)

Your CELL PHONE SERVICE PROVIDER (will explain below)



State of residence: We need that because sometimes a regional rather than national alert is a better idea. If we don’t know what state you’re in, you won’t get one.

Cell phone service provider: Currently we send emails rather than SMS messages to your cell phone. Each service provider has its own email domain that attaches the the phone number. For example: 5121234567@verizonmail.com. Every provider is different. If you don’t tell us the provider for each phone, we can’t text you.

Note: SMS service is by subscription on our part. That is, TB has to pay a fee based on number of text messages sent. Emails are free.

 

[Green Co.]

all requests for additions or edits need to be done by PM (conversations at the upper right of the page)

I need, for entry:

Name
State of residence
email address (up to three)
Cell phone number (up to three)
Cell phone carrier (company) for each phone number
WE CANNOT DO LAND LINES. They don't accept text messages

Seems as if we posted at the same time

 

[Dennis Olson]

Heh

 

[raven]

does the request go to Green Co or to Blueberry?

 

[Dennis Olson]

BB is MIA and has been for a long time. Green has taken over the job.

 

[59 MGk.]

Thanks to both of you.

 

[Tundra Gypsy]

Well, that will leave me and a few others out of the loop; I only have a LAN line; can't get cell phone service here.

TG, check into the MAGS. Perhaps there is someone in your area with EAS service that could call your LL if there is an alert.
Just thinking out of the box....

 

[Dennis Olson]

Use email then.

 

[Dozdoats]

Thank you, GC and DO. Need to update my cell POC, we have changed providers recently.

 

[Green Co.]

Just a bump, and a little info. I still have about 90 member requests to work on. I have discovered a few little bugs, but the upstream admin is working as we speak.

Ok, back at it now.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Bump.

c’mon folks - now’s the time

 

[Green Co.]

PLEASE folks, read posts 3 & 4. Out of five requests, I'm lucky if ONE has all the info. Then I have to reply back and ask for it, and of course they're not online then.

Thanks

 

[biere]

Heh, will see if I can follow directions when you get to me.

 

[Green Co.]

Heh, will see if I can follow directions when you get to me.

biere... you done good!!!

 

[Dennis Olson]

Bump

We're actually going to run a test soon. If your info isn't current, you won't get a notification.

 

[Green Co.]

Still waiting on replies from many that I need additional info from. Some I had to send test msg in attempt to find the servicing towers, think Tracfone and other prepaids. If I don't hear back from you I must consider the test good and clear the request.

 

[NoMoreLibs]

Can we just provide an email instead of all the cell info?

 

[Green Co.]

Can we just provide an email instead of all the cell info?

I can do email only with no cell phone, kinda defeats the instant notification function. Still need the rest of the info

 

[Dennis Olson]

Yeah. As Green says, either/or.

 

[agmfan3]

I apologize if you answered this question already, nothing on my end has changed so I don’t have to provide it again, correct? Thanks for all the work.

 

[Michiana MaJo]

I understand we have to PM the info to Green, but I haven't figured out how to send a PM on this new format....could someone please tell this ignoramus?

 

[Dozdoats]

Click the little envelope in the top bar of the main page. That'll get you started.

MANY THANKS, GC!

 

[Dennis Olson]

Little envelope next to your name up top/right (on a PC). Click it. Tap it if you're on a hand-held.

 

[Michiana MaJo]

Thanks to you both!

I'm about caught up on changes and admissions to EAS. However, I have 20+ outstanding requests for clarifications or additional info from members. Watch your little envelope at the upper right of each page, if you have a message/PM... read it. Thanks

 

[imminence]

Quick question, what if any information are you going to provide, that the Federal , State, & Local governments will not be supplying already? Additionally , when will this information come, after the national, state, or local EAS system has already been sounded? Or does someone here have access to all of the resources available to the USA prior to their activation?

 

[Dennis Olson]

Why don’t you just leave it alone and stay out of our system. Keep your snark to yourself.

 

[wvstuck]

Thanks to both of you!

 

[AlfaMan]

Got mine set up and glad to have it. With the news resources here, I'd trust a TB2K EAS text over most I get from official .gov sources.

 

[CathyC]

On my ipad when I open my envelope it says Conversations. Is that the same as a PM?

 

[CathyC]

Oops.Sorry I just saw that it is the same.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Bttt one more time.

 

[Profit of Doom]

Why don’t you just leave it alone and stay out of our system. Keep your snark to yourself.

Agreed.

 

[Green Co.]

One last time. I've added 40+ new additions, updated/checked twice that many.

I still have near 20 that I've asked for clarifications that haven't gotten back with me. I've got yard work & chores to do, and may not be as readily available much after this afternoon.
