I would not inform the public about an approaching tornado with the internet and phone messages. I would not because usually if there is a tornado coming you lose power in the phone and internet lines as a tornado can go into the power critic.
hope that helps.

How are people alerted about tornadoes?
Tornadoes are tracked by a Doppler radar and reports from the public, law enforcement, and trained weather spotters.
What responsibility do scientists have to share severe weather information with the public?
They have a really large responsiblity. I happen to be a storm spotter with the National Weather Service and anything that I see that is a danger to the public it is my responsibility to inform the National Weather Service about it and then they alert the public with watches and warnings and outdoor sirens. So overall I think that meteorologists have a rather large responsiblity when it comes to share severe weather information with the public. Hope this helped! :)

Do most communities have public shelter sites to use during tornadoes?
In tornado-prone regions, many do. They are not built for that purpose, but schools and office buildings may be designated as tornado shelters. Just about any sturdy building can be used. These site should be used by people who find themselves outside, in their cars, or who live in trailers homes. If you are already in a house you should shelter in place there rather than venture outside.
What are some differences between a hurricane watch and a hurricane warning?
A tornado watch is when general conditions may lead to a tornado forming. A tornado warning is when a tornado has been spotted in the area or indicated by radar.More Information:In the United States, both the tornado watch and the warning are issued by the Storm Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma for every location in the country. They are typically issued for 6-10 hour periods and also usually in advance of the anticipated weather. It is left to local National Weather Service offices to detect severe thunderstorms and tornadoes and issue the appropriate warnings. It should be noted that a tornado warning does not necessarily mean that a tornado has been spotted - in fact, the majority of tornado warnings do not pan out as such. Most of these warnings are issued based on a radar signature, i.e. the meteorologist sees something on the Doppler radar that suggests strong rotation and a potential tornado, however more often than not a tornado will not form. However, a tornado warning should still be treated as if a tornado is imminent simply due to the severity of the situation. The last thing meteorologists want to do is not issue a warning when a tornado is in fact on the ground. If there is good evidence that a tornado could be on the ground, the warning is issued and emergency management personnel proceed as such, as the public should follow.Some tornado safety links can be found in the related links.A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted by Trained NWS or other Emergency Services Personel , or that Doppler radar indicates a thunderstorm circulation which can spawn a tornado. When a tornado warning is issued for your town or county, take immediate safety precautions. local NWS offices issue tornado warnings.

How much time does the public have after they heard that a tornado is coming but before it happens?
It varies. The average lead time for a tornado warning is 14 minutes, but in some cases there is no warning while in others, there have been lead times over 30 minutes. This is based on the ability to issue a warning before a tornado even touches down. If you are warning of an approaching tornado that is already on the ground, it depends on where the tornado is and how fast it's moving. This citizens of Greensburg, Kansas had 39 minutes of warning as a tornado approached their town on May 4, 2007, while Smitville, Mississippi was struck by a tornado that had formed just outside of town less than two minutes earlier.
