The Park Managers, the Emergency Preparedness Committee, and the Communications Committee invite you, a member of Timber Valley, to sign up for our Emergency Alert System. This system is an effective way for us to communicate with members in the event of an emergency or other urgent events. It involves short text messages that are sent to your phone or computer. They may alert you to power or other utility outages, provide instructions during times of emergencies or evacuations, or provide helpful information during other events where instant communication can be life-saving or, at least, very helpful.
The Park pays for messages to mobile phone numbers, but email is free. So, we ask that you consider signing up with only one phone if you and your partner are normally together. If you’re normally out and about separately, two phones are OK. Remember, email is free and many of us can get email on our phone, so that may be all that you need.
The Simplified method to sign-up for basic alerts from your smartphone:
- Text the message “TVSKP” to the address 84483 to receive alerts from Timber Valley. You’ll receive confirmation that you’re signed up. Easy… Simple… You’ll like it.
Alternatively, or if you want to sign up with an email address,
- Click here. On the page presented, do the following:
- “1 – Sign Up!”: in the space provided, enter your full phone number OR your email address, depending on how you’d like to receive these alerts. Then, check the box where you agree to the terms of service. Click on the “Start Signup” button. It’s very important to understand that when you do this, you’ll get a reply back with a “validation code” on the device you’re signing up… either your phone (by text) or your computer/tablet (by email).
- “2 – Validation Code”: this 4 digit validation code should be entered in the space provided. Click on “Validate Code”.
- “3 – Receive Alerts“: You are now subscribed.
- In the event you’d like to receive these short alerts on a second phone or on your email address, just go through the process above a second time using the additional phone number or email address.
If you have questions or need assistance, contact one of the following:
Kim in the Office, Thom Hoch (31), Rachael Smithey (25), or Dick Shanahan (62)
To Remove your phone or email address from the system, go back to tab “1 – Sign Up!”, and click on the link to “Manage Your Alert Subscriptions”. Follow the instructions and you’ll be removed from the list.
Remember, you completely control your own connection to the RainedOut system. You can sign yourself up, and take yourself off when you no longer wish to receive alerts from us.
