@clackable@mstdn.social @alexwinter I live in hurricane country, so yes, I know about disasters.

Yet, I still get my news about such things from the NWS website, or from my local county website. For both entities, Twitter posts are usually just a brief summary with a link to these websites for details. Plus, for severe alerts, the local government sends emergency broadcasts to my phone.

If your local elected officials are updating Twitter before their own websites or emergency alert infrastructure, you need to elect new officials.
