What does e-mail have to do with skin cancer prevention?
In 2005, SunWise developed a system called EnviroFlash UV that sends subscribers an e-mail containing the daily UV Index forecast for their city or ZIP Code. You can also subscribe to receive e-mails only on days when there is a UV Alert for your area. E-mails go out in the early evening so you have plenty of time to prepare for your next day’s activities. If you planned on going on a picnic, and the UV Index is predicted to be a 10 for that Zip code, you’ll know that you will need to be extra careful to minimize sun damage to your skin and eyes. It’s also easy to subscribe and unsubscribe, so if you’ll be traveling for a few days, and you have access to your e-mail, you can receive the local UV Index wherever you are, or you can just check the daily UV Index at our UV Index home page.
