Dear Kiwi,

Firstly, thank you for your ongoing support, it means a lot to us, as we take the responsibility of keeping you safer and more informed, very seriously.

There have been a number of significant events since we last touched base:

• The Wairoa floods
• Northland's power outage
• Pockets of severe thunderstorms
• The Red Cross Emergency Hazard App ending, and
• Lert Info becoming NZ's only national private emergency alert service

Weather Patterns

High pressure zones are dominating our weather in July, with some very frosty nights and mornings expected.
This seems to be the theme for July.

Exclusive Alerts

Increasingly, our exclusive alerts will be the first you hear of something. These can give you 5-10mins advance notice, like the damaging Auckland T/Storms, or 2 weeks, as with Cyclone Gabrielle.

Feel free to share our service with your friends. Send this link: https://lert.info to them.

Are You Reading Alerts Too Late?

During VERY fast moving events, any delay in reading our alerts could pose a risk to you and your family. Only 20% of people read e-mails in the first two hours but 70% read Txts within the first 10 minutes.

Fast moving events, are generally:

• Severe thunderstorms
• Gale winds + associated issues
• Flooding rain
• Closed roads
• Evacuations

You'll get and read Txts within minutes, but e-mails not so soon. That delay could compromise your safety. We don't mind what you choose, we just want you to realise the difference. To receive Txts as well as e-mail alerts, sign up to the premium service.

Member Reports Crucial for Safety

Members frequently advise us of things requiring an exclusive alert. To date, these reports have always been timely and accurate, helping thousands. We are very grateful for your input, thank you.

Road Alerts

Some road alerts we see from official sources are sometimes unclear. We try to decipher what's happening with each one, and as a result, alerts can be delayed sometimes. If you're a long-distance driver, check out road.lert.info for Txt road alerts.
NZ's only public Txt road alert service can:

• save you time & money
• reduce inconvenience and
• keep you much safer

All the best!

The Lert Info team
