Shouldn't they use every means in their disposal? I know for myself I don't watch OTA or cable news, and I don't listen to public radio. Sure, SMS alerts are great, but the more widespread the messaging, the better.

Well the obvious answer would probably be yes, but I'm not so sure. We shouldn't make either institutions or people expect they can use and find this sort of information on social media, as social media is inherently unreliable for many reasons.
