I think one of the bigger embarrassments to San Diego's local government during the fires was that http://sdcountyemergency.com/ went down as soon as people started hitting it for information and it stayed down for most of the day. I'd like to see a detailed case study of how the site was engineered, what sorts of decisions went into compromises while building it, why it crashed under a heavy load that it should've have been designed to handle, and finally what devices were put in place to prevent this from happening again.
