Paying a lot more to host the website with higher "burst" capacity 
during an emergency, isn't an option.

The only other idea I've had is to sign all the customers up to receive 
an SMS via some sort of broadcast service (the news will fit easily in 
one SMS).


If the event is suitably calamitous we will do that for you -
