- wl 3y agoDuring the last natural disaster I found myself in, the authorities were updating Twitter and Facebook but not their official websites. At least the important/urgent stuff was going out through the emergency alert system.
- prmoustache 3y agoFrom what I understand, the official measures in a situation of emergency and disaster in my country and local gov is: - messages on the fm radios - sms broadcasting
- dspillett 3y agoThat, and some government run sites are under-resourced to survive the deluge of traffic that an emergency might generate. As much as I dislike twitter, I understand that it is a useful fallback.
