     @ai6yr Hey! I have an idea, let's put all of our critical emergency announcements out through a private service we don't have a contractual arrangement with. What could go wrong?

     @ai6yr suspended by the city or by the platforms?

     This is a pretty strong argument for cities to run their own messaging infrastructure. Especially when people are actively using disasters as opportunities to market scams or disinformation.
