#2Very neat. Those minor details in the spec is probably what we easily forget about. Didn’t see a mention of CDN on the front page but that could be another good must-have to add to the list to improve resiliency - even just a free cloudflare setup in front.

#3I'll add two more points:
- Remove all non-essential scripts: ads, analytics, fonts, social, liveperson, disqus, truste, foresee, cookielaw, etc.
- Scale down or omit images

Netlify uses a CDN by default ;-)

#5Wouldn't the people putting out emergency website likely be local governments? If so, wouldn't there be hurdles to using cloud providers like Netlify?
How do local governments usually host their websites?

Well it specifically mentions netlify which is already a CDN, but good idea anyway.

#7> progressively enable offline-support w/ Service Worker
I'm a bit confused about this point. If it's a basic static site why would this be needed?

So that you can revisit the information even in the event that you loose internet access

I work with some local governments in cloud consulting. They use different clouds the same as anyone else.
We actually see a lot of local governments (cities or metro agencies) doing things in AWS.
I'd say the likelihood in my experience of them grabbing this kind of thing and deploying it is probably pretty low. The ones I work with would leave that up to a contractor.

Not on Netlify.
