Alex,
Thanks much, that does sound good and Launcher is free so will start with that today.

I'd still look at Workflow or Launcher. No calling emergency responders, no 
opening apps and tapping through screens. Just set up a workflow or launcher 
icon, add it to the Notification Center, and it's ready. I haven't done this, 
but I believe either app is capable of it.

I am not sure if it is accessible, but there is an app called React Mobile, I 
believe, which allows you to set up contacts, have them follow you in real time 
if you want, and has an emergency button you can hit to call local emergency 
and send a text out to pre-selected contacts. If this is incorrect, let me know 
and I will dig up the information I have on it somewhere.

Scott,
 Yes SOS will be very wonderful but what I am wanting is ability to send only 
texts to a specified group of contacts to say I am alright. Create the text 
ahead of time then pretty much a one button process, something like that.

 The Red Cross Earthquake app does this but this function is buried in the app 
and in a crisis, it will not be the easiest.

 Related to this, how do carriers manage the cell towers when they go on 
emergency power? Can it be assumed that texting traffic will move?

Yes you can, in the Beta 10.2 the SOS feature is enabled now just like the 
watch.  Instead of pressing the button on the watch you press the screen lock 
button 5 times now and it sends a message with your location to your contacts 
defined under the SOS feature as well as alerts the authorities.  So the button 
no longer re springs the phone I don’t believe now it’s dedicated to SOS 
functions.  Download and install the beta 2 of 10.2 to enable this feature.  
You define the settings under settings, general, SOS.

Hope that helps.

In light of the 7.8 quake in New Zealand, I am again revisiting my desire to 
develop some methods to touch bases with friends and family should a disaster 
strike my area.

One idea would be a way of sending a text message already composed to a 
specific list of contacts. Is this feasible in iOS 10?
