corb@davidaugust Twitter is a private company with zero guarantee that any message will arrive in a timely manner or arrive at all. It should NEVER be used to disseminate important information.
minimoog@corb @davidaugust The fact is though that it has been possible to reliably use it for exactly that for years, until Space Karen came along. What do we go back to - megaphones and sirens?
Lucinda Catchlove@minimoog I'd suggest the agency getting a dedicated app (that people can make reports to or somehow share info with the agency, since this seems to be their main concern not broadcasting). Granted it''s for broadcast not info gathering but in Australia there are apps that warn about fires and floods in your local area, the degree of preparedness you need and when the danger has passed. @corb @davidaugust
