Re: Monitoring for Spam Listings

We use 4 direct methods and 2 indirect method for snow emergencies.
Email list, SMS, Twitter post, and Facebook page. The indirect methods
are that we contact the local media (radio, TV, paper) and we have a
local number anyone can call to see if there is a snow emergency.

Plus, I would add that common sense says that if we are getting more
than an inch or two (predicted) of snow, chances are that the plows
will be out. Your vehicles should be off the street. But we also know
there are many people without common sense.

You are right though. I can't guarantee that any of those methods are
100% to make sure someone knows. Heck a direct call isn't guarantee
that they answer it.

To be honest, I could care less about 90% or more of the emails that we
send out (and I am sure the residents think the same). However snow

snow emergency" when they can look outside and see snow falling and

up. However, we hear that excuse and they try to get out of the ticket.

The

less fuel they have to argue, the better. :-)

Since we are approaching snow season again, I want to know.

OK, you want to know.

You use email for emergency communication? It seems awfully unreliable

for

this kind of thing. Text messages and automated voice calling seem like a
better idea to me ... or perhaps all three. How do you prove to the

judge

that the message was specifically delivered to the mailbox and seen by

the

recipient?
