Last hurricane season, here in FL, I had to go to a cerain town's web site to see if the hurricane information had been updated, during the day. The town officials kept us in the dark, pretty much of the day. As it turns out, we were unable to obtain certain pertinent information in a timely fashion.
The town manager said that we had accessed the website incorrectly and not used the "refresh" button. Now, mind you, I had gone to this page about once every half hour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. either by hitting favorites or typing in the www.site name. To me, it seemed that they did not bother to update the web site as to the hurricane information we were waiting for.
This could prove to be quite a disaster this year, if people are relying on their computers for updated information in respect to this town's website.
Could there have been anything else that I did not do right in trying to access the web page or does it sound like people just trying to blame computers for their own failure to timely update a web page?
I have a letter that I need to respond to for my boss at work in regards to this...so any relative information would be greatly appreciated!
