Ultimate in Cambridge - Phone tree

People who are not on email can be put in a phone tree such that important email messages are passed on to them verbally. Our system makes use of five reliable phone tree operators who have daily access to email and a phone.

How a phone tree message is initiated

Whenever someone sends an email to frisbee@mrao.cam.ac.uk, if they think it is important that the information gets phoned through to the non-email people, then they can label the message ***PHONE TREE*** at the top and the bottom.

The phone tree operators then phone their people, as listed below.

It can also work the other way

If someone without email wants to send a message to everyone, then they can contact their operator and give them the message verbally; the operator can then tap in the email message.

Here is the system

The non-email people are put on FOUR lists. We have FIVE phone tree operators. Each list is given to one operator. When an operator goes away, he/she/it passes their list on to another operator, by sending them an email. (David M can provide emergency cover too.)

Please inform me (David mackay@mrao.cam.ac.uk) if any of the phone tree info is out of date, especially if there is someone new who needs adding.
