Were 1500+ short form text messages per month really ever an effective means of communication for emergency purposes?
If these messages are all related to road conditions (Drive BC), would an interactive map, a search engine, a table, or integration with Google Maps not have made more sense here?
It's good that our governments are losing the ability to use this lazy, inefficient, terrible form of communication (thousands of short form messages on a private platform).
Every government agency using privately owned social media as an exclusive channel for communication was/is acting irresponsibly.

The problem is people have it in their head to use and rely on Twitter so the agencies are doing their best to get information out to as many people as possible Now that Twitter has crippled this it’s likely time to just stop using it as no information there is better then out of date/missing critical information
