Communications/announcements from the government can easily be posted on the government's website or, if really needed, sent as an SMS

My local government still lets you sign up for email notifications about services and local alerts. It’s great!

Too expensive, bad idea.

  • SMS are virtually free for every carrier. The prices for the customers exist to partially offset the fixed costs of the infrastructure (which already exists).

  • What do you mean? They'll just pass a law saying carriers have to deliver them for free
