The obvious solution for these kinds of public entities is to spin up a mastodon instance to post their own alerts and updates that the public can subscribe to. That way the city is not beholden to someone else’s platform philosophy…if only everyone could agree to one social web protocol.

Each city running its own? No, that's way too much duplication of effort. Maybe have one run by the federal government, like the .gov domain.

I could see the state having the infrastructure but like the agencies cloning the default and putting in their agency specific stuff.
