@ai6yr terrible, but at least they are catching on now... can't trust critical messaging to a toddler

@ai6yr A lot of Canadian government agencies (federal/provincial/municipal) are running on Alertable - the app is a pretty handy catch-all of things going on:

Alertable - Emergency Alerts

Alertable provides a smart alert system to notify Canadians. Sign up today for severe weather, floods, tornados, wildfires, and local community notifications.

@va7ncd Is Alertable a private entity, or is that the Canadian government?
Show threadNick VA7NCD 🇨🇦Jul 2, 2023

@ai6yr Private Canadian company, details here:

(Not optimal, but the fairly widespread use of the platform is pretty impressive, and probably higher quality than anything the gov't could put out)

Mass Notification Software - Highly Rated in Canada - EASY | PEASI

Alertable helps emergency managers notify residents, visitors and employees directly without the complexity and cost of other systems.

@ai6yr that is one great advantage of this platform. You can host your own instance and not have to worry about that kind of thing.

@ai6yr Yeah, same.

@laureen Glad to have you here! How did you do with all the power outages up in your part of the world the last few days?

@ai6yr Well it's about time! It isn't safe to trust anyone's life to a degraded site.
