Starting a neighborhood telephone chain is an effective way to spread important information quickly.  The easiest way to do this is to have a separate phone chain for each Block Captain.  When emergency information needs to be related quickly, designate a person, usually the Program Coordinator, to call each Block Captain.  The Block Captains will then call whoever is second on their list, and that person will then call whoever is next on the list and so on.  If someone does not answer their phone move on to the next person on the list.  It is important however to leave a message or call back the person who did not answer their phone and was passed over.  Below you will find a sample neighborhood watch telephone chain that your group can use.
