Glen, thank YOU for the support and for sending your guests to attend HPPNW meetings. We already have two neighborhood crime alert "phone trees" and email notification networks. HPP is so big that it didn't make sense to do a subdivision-wide system. (In other words, it didn't make sense to alarm someone at Shower and 29th about a burglary situation at Makuu and Beach.) One of the pilot neighborhood systems is my own area, and we have tested it once and used it once to alert regarding theft from a construction site. The other is down near Paradise and 3rd.
There IS an HPP-wide system for Civil Defense type emergency alert notification called ENET. We in Neighborhood Watch are in the process of joining with Civil Defense and ENET as a traffic control auxiliary in the event of an evacuation. We will have a communications test on January 27, and I believe some units of ENET will actually mobilize.
We are trying to re-energize the HPPNW and will begin more regular and comprehensive car patrols soon, as well as some other initiatives. I may start a thread on the subject to keep things updated here on Punaweb.
Back on topic, we are probably going to go with TracFone as our option for cell usage. We got several recommendations, and since they use more than one carrier, coverage would seem to be good. (For HPP, anyway.)
Many thanks and cheers to all who have helped,
Jerry
