Notifications of system outages, when they happen

It would be great to have notice when a system is having issues, especially now that more things are going to the cloud. We had issues with Notes the last few days and it would have been beneficial to get an email announcing that there were issues and support or development staff are aware and working on it. Other systems let us know immediately when they become aware of an issue, especially issues that impact our workflows and patient care, that they are working on it, when they find the root cause, and when they expect it to be fully operational, if possible. We did get a notice about the Notes issue, but, after the issue was resolved. Some systems even have a status dashboard and/or bulletin boards on their support sites.
