I'm not sure how often Ireland has tsunami warnings, but here they're not uncommon, and Twitter is an excellent way for the emergency management service to update the status of the warnings - whether they're still active, if they've been withdrawn or modified, etc. MUCH more accessible to many more people than SW/VHF radio. Of course, we have a battery operated radio in our emergency preparedness kit
