Members of Parliament reacted with incomprehension to a warning message from the NL-Alert system that was sent to people in Noord-Holland about the severe storm that struck on Wednesday. People were directed to Twitter for news and updates about the storm, while that medium has been inaccessible to people without an account since last weekend.
The alert was already sent directly to everyone’s phone. The issue is that it directed people to Twitter for updates, when it could have just as easily pointed to a national weather service site.
