As I am sure you can appreciate, the need to get information out quickly and effectively is all the more important in these uncertain times. Text is not always appropriate and has limitations especially when it comes to length of content to be included. Emails can be problematic where accounts are not accessed or checked routinely and/or where address details are incorrect.
