Random emergency management question: there was a great doc out there (by a 3rd party consultant) about properly constructing emergency text messages. i.e. how to build good templates for various disasters. Anyone recall where that was? (Internet search... useless now).

This isn't it, but handle. the FEMA IPAWS message template generator. I guess someone needs to cache this before it gets blown up by the People In Charge.

"Issuance Delay" is the huge problem with wildfires! (and warnings not being issued at all...)

Oooh.... 😬

"...in the Joplin tornado, people got a 5 minute warning of an impending tornado, and then were found dead in rubble, with their hands on their cell phone as they were milling, trying to talk to other people..."

What if a meteor hit us now? What happens after that?

Not one big enough to cause another great extinction, but small enough to just turn a whole small country and parts of neighboring ones into a huge crater. Will the people who was evacuated out after NASA stated a warning try to rebuild the country after everything has settled down or do they’d become citizens of another ...

Understandable. But is there a particular account you follow or is just or what?

I’ve barely ever been on Twitter so I don’t know how it works much.
