Twitter’s newest feature, Twitter Alerts, was created to deliver real-time warnings and updates on natural disasters and emergencies. Marked with an “orange bell”, these alerts include: warnings of imminent dangers, preventive instructions, evacuation directions, urgent safety alerts, information on access to essential resources, information on critical transit and utility outages as well as crowd and misinformation management. These alerts can be sent to phones though SMS messages or push notifications for people that have the mobile app. There are currently 100 participating NGOs and government agencies in the U.S., Japan and Korea that can send these specialty alerts. To learn more about these alerts, who is able to use them and how to implement them on your account, read the full article here.
