Community organizers commonly use power dialing to inform their membership of upcoming social events and public forums. It’s a great way to keep in touch and participate in your community no matter how hectic modern day life gets.
Neighborhood watch groups use it to keep their community apprised of urgent communiques, like Amber Alerts and local police department notices.
Local media in areas that are prone to extreme weather conditions, like tornados, commonly use Robo-Dialing to warn the public of incoming disasters so they can take shelter as quick as possible.
