    Why wouldn’t you/her just call the emergency number your city has? That’s incredibly easy to look up, probably a little faster than searching through Twitter.
    Or even check the cities website, for that matter.

    Idk, to me that’s like going to Facebook to call the police. Why would you do that?

      My city just had a major storm which killed power and cell data for a ton of people. Even when the power was back on, you couldn’t use your cell phone except on WiFi because the towers were still down. Phone calls just wouldn’t get through. Even texts often didn’t get through- the pharmacy texted me on Monday to tell me my pills were ready and I went there yesterday to ask why they weren’t ready yet.

      Would being able to see information on Twitter solved these problems? Of course not, but it might have at least kept me informed.
