With much of the population on the run all day not having time to look at a News Paper or watch the nightly News it is hard for the government to get the work out to those who don't follow it.
In an article from IP communications announced that the Department of Homeland Security is making a few changes. Along with changing the alerts to just 2 levels they are creating steps to insure that they can get vital information out to the public as fast as possible.
The Solution? Social media. By including things such as Facebook and Twitter Alerts they will be able to reach a Mass population fast.
If a situation were to occur where the Government felt it was the country was in need of immediate information then they will take to Social Networking for a solution. According to the article the Department of Homeland Security has previously been put under the spotlight for being too "vague".
These alers would also need to be approved under special circumstances, the first priority is always to alert the Law Enforcement.
This change will become official on April 27, 2011. So stay alert!
