FACEBOOK UPDATES will limit what posts you will see. One of the Facebook changes brought in over September is now affecting Lert and all others like Civil Defence, Metservice, Councils , and local community pages. If a post has a link that takes people away from the FB page, such as to their own websites, FB will reduced the number to "fans" that are shown the post. What does that mean for you? You will see far fewer posts and more than likely, miss important information. Unfortunetly you will never know when a post is made and whether you missed it.
