Take care though, they allow email address reuse.

How do they avoid HIPAA violations in that case? Or is that not at issue somehow?

Um... Yahoo has nothing to do with HIPAA since they don't deal with medical information at all.

You don't email medical records or information in the first place, you "secure message" them through an encrypted channel. An example of such a service is RelayHealth.

In that case I'd suggest "Mom" or "Dad" for maximum effectiveness. Oooh or maybe "YOU HAVE WON".

911 as the originator should have a pretty good pick-up rate. Nobody ever got called by them and yet I'd bet that it would work just fine.

Here in the US we do have "Reverse 911" (though I forget what number it calls from).

I live in Virginia, but was in Louisiana and I got a call about a hostage situation with a shooter that was happening somewhat near my home address.

1-user gsuite account. 1TB for $5/month

GSuite would be Google. I don't think an advertising company is really going to be that much better than Verizon. And if I just want 1TB of online storage I have better options. The question was about a "photo sharing" application not unlike Flickr.

What did they want? Just for you to stay inside?

Any suggestions for migrating away from Flickr while preserving my data? Google, etc. don't really seem like they will be any more ethical.

I've been liking Flickr less and less with Yahoo's decline and the tie-in to Yahoo accounts. The only reason I have a Yahoo account is because it was required for Flickr.

For my own uses, been thinking of self-hosting something like Zenphoto on a subdomain.

Yes. "If you are in the area, please leave. If you are inside your home, please remain."
