Well, tbf Facebook shouldn't be used for emergency communications. There are better and more robust ways such as radio, text alerts etc.

You are not wrong, but I think it is becoming more and more the norm. Last year a town I was in lost all water pressure and they only said anything on facebook, even when I was at the office they had just locked the doors without a sign or anything.
