Business ask to create near real time, location aware notification system to increase user engagement and refine ad tracking : "That's a a great idea, we can do that!" Government ask to create near real time, location aware notification system for public safety warnings : "THAT IS A BRIDGE TOO FAR, THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS GOVERNMENT OVERREACH!"

But advertisers pay for it; emergency alerts aren't revenue generating.In other words, only rich people deserve to be warned. Poor people.... Well, I guess they are poor and don't buy enough stuff from advertisers to be considered "revenue generating." Is that why Amazon, Apple and Google don't have emergency alerts as part of their "smart devices?" Good PR move. Amazon Alexa will alert me as it tracks my package of stuff, but won't warn me about the tornado about to destroy my neighborhood.
