Eruv Alerts are email notifications
that are sent when the Eruv status is reported. You may register to
receive notice of all updates or only when the Eruv is down.
Although this service will hopefully be beneficial, please understand
its limitations. First, the Eruv status is often not available
until a few hours before sundown erev-Shabbos, and if you don't typically
check your email in that timeframe, then these email alerts may not
reach you in time. Also, prompt delivery of email can be affected
by congestion on the internet and responsiveness of mail servers at
your ISP. So, again, there is a chance that an alert may not reach
you in time. For these reasons you probably don't want to rely
solely on this service to notify you when the Eruv is down, and you
should probably consult the Eruv status web page or call the Hotline
if you haven't received the email notification in time.
Here's a great tip for those of you with digital pagers and mobile phones
with text messaging: Your service provider may offer you a special
email address that can be used to receive email messages on your pager
or phone. If you have this capability, register this email address
below to receive Eruv alerts on your mobile device. Contact your
service provider to obtain the proper email address.
Occasional information regarding the general affairs of the Eruv may
also be emailed to the members of this list.
