1/ Last year, during Hurricane Harvey, a few alt-gov accounts saw desperate SOS messages from people on their rooftops who couldn't get through to 911.

They started logging those tweets, organizing volunteers and dispatching boats out to rescue people that EMS couldn't get to.
2/ From September until December, @CEDRdigital (formerly known as @CrowdRescueHQ) worked 24/7 on different approaches to saving people's lives during Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria.

3/ There are two named storms in the Atlantic right now.
Tropical Storm Chris & Tropical Storm Beryl.
One is hanging out off the coast of NC, the other is headed for the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico.

PR could be devastated even by a glancing blow of a cat 1.

4/ The governor of Puerto Rico has declared state of emergency and opened 417 shelters in the event that there is significant flooding.

@CEDRdigital is monitoring the situation closely.
