rainedout

Rainedout is a service that provides automated communication for event organizers and community groups. Its primary function is to quickly and efficiently notify participants about event cancellations or changes due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. The system allows organizers to send out alerts via text message, email, and social media platforms simultaneously.

Users can sign up for notifications for specific events or groups by texting a designated keyword to a short code number or by registering online. This eliminates the need for organizers to personally contact each participant, saving time and ensuring timely dissemination of information. Rainedout is often used by sports leagues, schools, parks and recreation departments, and community organizations that are prone to weather-related disruptions. The service aims to reduce the frustration of participants showing up to events that have been canceled without their knowledge. It also offers features for organizers to manage their contact lists and track communication history.
