Go to the city's website, they should still have that information accessable via government sites. Buried, but it should still exist.

While true, the point is that Twitter does require sign in to view content, regardless of that information is elsewhere.

Have you tried contacting your government for this issue? From my experience public services are often open about Mastodon once they realize it's the same thing as Twitter, but accessible to everyone.

I have not. I personally don't live in a region where disaster notices are often necessary and I don't have offspring that I have to care for that may be affected, so I'm not really the demographic for the service. I do hope more and more start branching out to the likes of Mastodon or maybe better yet, hosting their own instances.
