      No, they haven’t. NERV is running its own Mastodon server, but that’s not run by any government agency and is a private company.

      The different prefectures are still weighing options.

        If I were in charge of disaster warnings, a distributed, redundant system like the Fediverse would seem to be the perfect option for a warning system.

        But what do I know…

        NERV? Like the agency from Evangelion? I’m not too familiar with any other abbreviation than that haha.

        Yeah, I wish the government would do something. Preferably something that exists today, but I trust they’d want to make their own shitty app. At least then it’d be in one place, I suppose. Emergency alerts on phones are a thing for many people, but not everything is that level of emergency.
