Palm Beach Post Delivers Mobile Hurricane Alerts via Text Messaging

New mobile hurricane alert service aimed at Floridians as hurricane season kicks off. CellSigns announces the Palm Beach Post now provides instant hurricane alerts via text messaging. The powerful mobile alert system provides free, on-demand severe storm information.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) June 18, 2007 -- Palm Beach Post officially announced today the launch of mobile hurricane alerts (http://www.cellsigns.com) using a service that delivers immediate, localized weather updates via SMS/text messaging. By texting "storm" to 72727, consumers can access weather information on their cell phone, receiving mobile alerts for severe weather, tropical storms, hurricanes and potential flooding. The service is available for free - standard message rates apply.

To protect themselves during hurricane and tropical weather season, consumers are turning toward technology to keep them informed and to stay ahead of the quickly changing conditions. The Palm Beach Post makes it easy for individuals to get up-to-the-minute information on each storm on demand by sending a text message with the word "storm" to their short code - 72727. The Palm Beach Post currently offers mobile classifieds (http://www.cellsigns.com/cellifieds/index.shtml), mobile news alerts (http://www.cellsigns.com) and a shopping site via WAP (text "SHOP" to 72727 for the site).

"When a storm is threatening, you need instantaneous access to protect your family and business," said Dan Shorter, Post GM for Internet Operations. "CellSigns has developed a service for us that lets people get the weather conditions on demand - when they need them. They don't have to wait in front of the TV for the next weather report or listen to a radio until they get an update. Our service puts them in control."

CellSigns (http://www.cellsigns.com) is powering this new service for the Palm Beach Post. "With nine Atlantic Hurricanes forecasted for 2007, this service couldn't come at a better time, said David Geipel, President CellSigns, Inc. "This is the perfect service for the Palm Beach Post as many Florida residents want real time information about tropical storms and hurricanes." The mobile weather alert system is connected to the National Weather Service and launched in Palm Beach, Florida, on June 1, 2007 as the hurricane season started. The system is available for use by anyone in the US.
