A phone tree is a very useful tool that helps to notify a large number of people about an event or occurrence of some sort. Phone trees can be used in office or corporate environments as well as family situations. The first step in creating a phone tree is to make list of the people and their phone contact numbers. Pick one person to be the leader or main person of the phone tree. This leader
. makes the determination of when to initiate or start the calling. Put the leaders name at the top of the phone tree. Choose the leader carefully. He or she should be a dependable responsible person. Now start adding the limbs to your phone tree. Draw two limes out from the leader's name. Put two of the people on these two limbs from the list you made earlier. Next draw two lines from the names of these two people. Each person on the phone tree will call two people. In turn those two people will call two people. Using this phone tree method can notify many people in a short time. Be sure to distribute a copy of the tree to everyone on the phone tree list.
