Almost everyone with a cell phone gets real time alerts too. I am not sure how many more ways we can make people aware of things around them. Seems like yet another government mandate to dictate what a device must do.People in tornado areas seem to be the most aware that alert radios already exist. No internet access required.
The next question would be, was the system used to alert for the wildfires? It already exists and has a code for fires.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_Area_Message_EncodingIf it wasn't activated for the fires, why not? If it was and people just don't have alert radios, maybe there should be some education to go buy one if you live in wildfire prone areas just like how people that live in tornado prone areas usually have one (or more). They come in portable or fixed, and some have alarms louder than any cell phone.
