Show HN: The UNESCO Tsunami Warning Emails Are Gone
lists.unesco.org
This key piece of tsunami warning and safety was discontinued this morning and evidently there's no way to get it back. :/
lists.unesco.org
The oldest one on Dec 26, 2024, looks identical to the current page, saying no internet access, use VPN.
What could you do here; register your e-mail address to receive notifications? How long ago?
If so, maybe there still a mailing list robot you can write to subscribe? (Needless to say, without any instructions from the above page.)
The question is, do you wanna rely on some mailing list for a tsunami warning, though.
https://legacy.itic.ioc-unesco.org/legacy.itic.ioc-unesco.or...
The article contains a link to subscribe to a list, which is a web form, hosted at exactly the same list server domain:
https://lists.unesco.org/subscription/?action=subscribe&list...
I put in a fake address there; it told me it sent a subscription e-mail to that address. Whether it did that, I have no idea.
What is supposed to be at the above non-working page? I'm guessing access to searchable mailing list archives? Hmm. You don't strictly need those to get a bulletin.
Anyway, the above article says, at the bottom:
UNESCO does not warrant, guarantee, or make any representations regarding the timeliness, currency, correctness, accuracy, reliability, or other aspect of the characteristics or use of the information available through this email service.
So, yeah, what I said ...
