    Those people need to pull their head out.

    It should be on the government to post this information on a public government website. It should be on the people to go read it.

    I do believe governments should be looking at alternative alerting options though. They should take the recent API rate hikes by Twitter as a bright red warning that they should never have relied on private companies like this for important alerts.
