An anonymous reader writes: Two large fires are burning out of control in San Diego county with 0% containment and winds of up to 40mph are quickly spreading the blaze. According to reports tens of thousands of acres are burning in a situation resembling the 2003 cedar fires, and mandatory evacuation has already been ordered for all of Ramona. But residents looking towards the San Diego County's emergency website for information are out of luck — the site has already been down for hours.
Didn't anybody foresee that in the case of an actual county-wide emergency the website might receive a lot of visitors? Does your region have an emergency website, and would it stand up to the traffic an actual emergency is likely to generate?
Side: Please do not attempt to visit the emergency website unless you are an affected San Diego resident because you may prevent others accessing important emergency information. For this reason I have omitted the URL from this summary.
