UPDATED: Important Twitter hashtags and accounts to follow

Hi Team, 

For uprooted evacuees, staying connected is helpful. For the rest of us, it's information in real time. Let's see Twitter in action! 

Important twitter hashtags: 

#abflood

#yycflood

#yychelps --> for those looking for homes, or those offering places for evacuees to stay!
*NEW* #abhelps --> province wide

Note - you don't need to have a Twitter account to follow the tweets. Just go to twitter.com and enter a hashtag into the search bar. Prepare to be amazed. 

Important twitter accounts to follow: 

@cityofcalgary

@CalgaryPolice

@CBCCalgary --> their studio is in an evac zone, but their twitter is updated often

@AB_EmergAlert

@nenshi

@RedCrossAB --> not updated very often, since they have their hands full
*NEW*
@RedCrossCanada
@AHS_media -->Alberta Health Services, they'll post boil water advisories, as well as hospital facilities updates
@CTVCalgary
@511Alberta -->Alberta's Road Report

I've been tweeting as well, but it's sporadic. You can follow me @findtheexits

Stay safe.
