Welcome to the Itzl Alert Network!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
Every day, we'll put up a diary, and y'all check in via the comments. The diary may just be a "Check in, please!" or it may be more. Maybe even with pictures!
If you live alone, if you want to buddy up with a Kossack who lives alone or is otherwise isolated, you are cordially invited to join this group.
Once you join, you can seek a buddy in your area. We can start with states, and then you can go to Kosmail to narrow it down. We can use the diaries and comments to arrange a public meet-up.
Never, ever give your contact information in a public area!
We can be responsible and caring.
If you'd like to join, please kosmail the group and I'll add you until I have several other admins, and then we can add you. This will only work if we participate.
Don't just sit there, join in!
