About this Idea

Create a telephone network to quickly share information amongst neighbours. Start a list of volunteers who are willing to participate and assign each person 3 numbers to call when information needs get pushed out. When a message needs to be sent out, the first person on the tree will call three people, then each of those people will call another three people, until the entire group has the message.

Tip: If phones are not working try slipping notes under doors, have each member of the network take a floor or hallway to spread the word.
