Alerts for Business Continuity

[Paul_1978]

First of all, I hope I have posted this in the right area.

I work in Business Continuity and I have only been working in this area for a few months.

Of course, many business continuity issues are caused as a result of weather.

We have signed up to the appropriate alerts, eg Met Office, Environment Agency etc, as well as alerts for our city (run by the council) for things such as disruption due major road closures, fires etc.

The query is what is the best way to disseminate these warning down to staff throughout the organisation. We could send a text to everyone, or an email, or place on the intranet.

Staff will be working in the office, or be off site and furthermore, the notification might need to be sent out of hours (eg evenings and weekends).

There are lots of things to consider and I wondered if anyone else was working in this area and whether you've gone through the same process.
