Social networking site for First Alert System Text (FAST) is restored by MySpace.com
Port Orange FL (OPENPRESS) April 10, 2008 -- First Alert System Text (FAST), the national emergency alert text messaging system gaining popularity throughout the social networking world, was abruptly removed from MySpace on March 24, 2008 with no explanation. The site designed to promote safety on school campuses was restored 14-days later and FOX, the parent company for Myspace.com has not given a reason for the temporary lack of access.
On January 30, 2008 First Alert System Text announced the national effort to promote public safety using the Toyota 100 promotion to spread the word. The removal from MySpace briefly slowed down the signups but "we are confident this trend will quickly reverse" stated Robert Craddock with First Alert System Text.
Recent events illustrate the importance of early and dependable notifications to citizens and students during natural or man-made emergencies. Government agencies, school districts, colleges and universities can access this national database of alerts plus send out their own notifications at no cost.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is FAST's official source of weather-related warnings. All NOAA alerts are quickly relayed so subscribers learn about extreme weather conditions and can take immediate steps to protect themselves, their property and their loved ones.
Persons who subscribe to the National Emergency Alert Network are automatically entered in the running for one of 100 new Toyota cars or trucks. Entering simply requires texting the word FAST followed by a space and your zip code to the National Emergency Alert Service Short code 47733. Interested subscribers may also sign up online at www.FirstAlertText.com. There is a nominal .99 per month charge billed by each cell phone company. This fee never changes and gives subscribers access to an unlimited number of emergency notifications.
