Twitter expands emergency alert sign-ups to mobile app

DateThursday, December 19, 2013 at 9:09PM

Twitter is making it easier for you to subscribe to participating organizations alerts. You just have to head over to their Twitter profiles on your iOS and Android devices and subscribe from there. The alerts will range from app notifications, highlighted tweets, and text messages. Twitter has also expanded the service in Brazil and Australia with the new update.

The program is a result of the Lifeline service launched in September after the major tsunami and earthquake hit Japan.
