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?
Yeah, that was my thought. Put a page on their government website. I would recommend their state department of homeland security for emergency services
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.”

Or link to an official website with the details.

Make a subpage: https://www.caloes.ca.gov/office-of-the-director/operations/homeland-security/

That’s what happens in my part of the US as well.
Possibly laziness and/or wanting to link to an “official” source.
Instead of publishing 34 more alerts, a interested person could just follow the account.
going to assume it’s easier to hire a social media intern then train on a cms to post to a website.
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?
Do do both. The text of the alert and a link for minor updates that don’t warrant a new alert.
