Mobile Device Tweetables
Preparedness Tips for Your Media Devices
“The California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) has prepared the following tips for consideration in assuring that California is ready for disasters and emergencies. Cal EMA is a partner in the Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) technology – a powerful public safety tool that allows emergency management officials to rapidly disseminate warnings and safety information via text alerts to wireless phones based on their specified locations.”
These tweetables are based on that material. Some will also be integrated accordingly with Befor/After tweetables where ever appropriate.
