How about not relying on Facebook for such things?
It's very hard to find the resources. The government sites are not SEO optimized, the URLs change, sometimes there's better info on local news websites. People are trying to share these vital resources with one another on social networks that already exist, and are finding that they cannot. In a time of crisis, you can't quickly set up another network on a different platform. Many people don't even know about better platforms.
government sites can still be linked to through facebook. that's not the issue.
facebook isn't linking to news sites. if you want news from news sites, go to the news sites. the "vital resources" aren't on CTV
I'm not responding to any more comments on this, but it's evident that a lot of you have never lived through a wildfire. All of the resources you need get centralized on local news sites (like Castanet for Kelowna) in a way that makes it easy to figure out what's happening. Many of the updates that local officials broadcast daily never get transcribed or posted anywhere except for local news sites such as that.
