built 234 days ago
The service is an efficient alternative to "phone trees" and other outdated practices like printing and distributing flyers. Schools can use Instant Alert to deliver both emergency and routine news, from school-closing notices to report-card reminders. For example, Wayzata Public Schools recently sent an alert to inform parents of a bomb threat at one of the district's schools.

[E]ucalyptus trees are so well adapted to fire that a conflagration actually causes them to flourish. Soon after a fire dies out, chemical changes triggered by the flames' heat cause new buds to shoot out of the trees. The fire's hot winds can ... help distribute eucalyptus seeds, sowing new tree colonies far and wide and eventually providing new homes for kookaburras.
