Why can't they just put the information in the alert directly? That's what the Koreans did when I was there. Why this extra indirection in the first place?
Or link to an official website with the details.
Yeah, that was my thought. Put a page on their government website. I would recommend their state department of homeland security for emergency services
Make a subpage: https://www.caloes.ca.gov/office-of-the-director/operations/homeland-security/
Their mission statement on that site fits perfectly with it:
"We protect California by leveraging partnerships, bolstering capabilities, illuminating threats, sharing intelligence and advancing the Homeland Security Strategy."
That's what happens in my part of the US as well.
going to assume it's easier to hire a social media intern then train on a cms to post to a website.
It's really not. Even crappy interns can learn quickly to post to a CMS.
However, that's not what was being suggested here. Just...include the details in the alert that actually gets sent?
Possibly laziness and/or wanting to link to an "official" source.
Instead of publishing 34 more alerts, a interested person could just follow the account.
Do do both. The text of the alert and a link for minor updates that don't warrant a new alert.
