#SocialMedia #Facebook #Twitter #CivilProtection: "Facebook and Twitter spent years making themselves essential conduits for news. Now that government agencies, the media and hundreds of millions of people have come to rely on them for critical information in times of crisis, the social media giants have decided they’re not so invested in the news after all.

Tech titans Mark Zuckerberg and Musk may not agree on much. But both have pulled back, in different ways, from what their companies once saw as a responsibility, to both their users and society, to connect people with reliable sources of information. A drumbeat of natural disasters, probably intensified by climate change, is highlighting the consequences of that retrenchment.

“Just a few years ago, Twitter was a really valuable way for us to communicate with the public,” said Brian Ferguson, deputy director of crisis communications for California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. “It’s much more challenging now because of some of the changes that have happened.”"

In #Ischia people faced extreme rain after an extremely dry summer/early autumn, causing powdery soil - in a highly built up hilly tourist area - to quickly turn into a mud landslide. #climatechange no longer allows us to build wherever we could get away with in the past. There will be many more Ischia’s. 94% of Italian municipalities are at risk of floods, coastal erosion and landslides, according to the head of Italy’s #civilprotection.
