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?

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That's what happens in my part of the US as well.

Do do both. The text of the alert and a link for minor updates that don't warrant a new alert.

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."

going to assume it's easier to hire a social media intern then train on a cms to post to a website.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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?
