[ARES-SE] FW: Database update

[gfletcher5 at att.net]

I need everyone to go to the ARES Database
(http://www.harriscountyares.org/aresdb/) and enter all of the information
that will allow us to be able to contact you.  We need especially: email
address and phone numbers.  Also please be sure that you have identified
which quadrant (we call it "unit") you are in.  This information is very
important to us and will greatly assist us in the future when we need to
find personnel to help support an event.  The more information you can
provide us the better we will know what we have to work with in the future.

 

Thank you for sharing your information with us.

All,

 

Our database person K5WTF reports that "only 42 of 293 (14.33%) have joined
at least one activation group".

 

Please implore your unit members to update this catagory of their
information in the database. Group email notifications are now possible thru
the database.  

 

"They can join as many groups as they want to be activated for.  They should
choose one as their primary (their Quadrant/Unit/Package whatever) and set
that on the same page".

"They should choose when joining a group, how they would like to be
contacted through that group.  This is how they can specify if they only
want to receive email or would like to receive email and text etc.  Any
callup tree for a group should be generated using this flag as well to
ensure only the people wishing to get called by phone are called for that
group".

"Also! SMS Addresses work now.  CARRIER FEES MAY APPLY!!!! They can add as
many of these as they want".

Regards,

Jeff Walter - KE5FGA
