+  * To use Amazon Connect outbound campaigns for event-driven mass notifications, such as severe weather warnings, evacuation notices, disaster response communications, or utility disruptions impacting many thousands of customers, requires pre-authorization. While we may support these use-cases, they require additional technical validation due to their unique nature and implications, such as the impact on carrier networks for voice or SMS communications. If you need to implement such mass notification scenarios, you can submit a detailed description of your requirements through the quota increase request process in the [Amazon Connect service quotas section](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/connect_region.html#limits_amazon_connect) of the AWS General Reference guide. Additional charges may apply based on your location and anticipated notification volumes. This review process helps ensure the reliable delivery of these critical messages while maintaining service quality for all customers.
