I have been saying for ~15 years that government agencies cannot require people to go to private social media services for vital public information. This is exactly fucking why. Multiple federal agencies RIGHT NOW require being logged into a site that promotes a second holocaust if you want updates.

In the case of Kerrville, or in the case of small town disaster, in this class of vital public information, why isn’t the emergency alert system the go to? I know Kerr County thought the Motorola CodeRed system that’s opt in. Use of EAS/WEA seems much more reliable. And Kerr county has IPAWS access.
And yet still a lot of that public info was on Facebook or Twitter. Why on earth? Just small town governmental incompetence?
