Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), i.e., mobile phone alerts, are less than 10 years old. And mostly on the high-end expensive cell phones and the most expensive carriers. People on NANOG may use mostly expensive smartphones, but not everyone can afford smartphones.
That's an excellent point that's often lost among people who work in our industry. Not everyone is so wealthy as to afford the luxury of a smartphone. And not everyone can use one. And not everyone wants one. The first two items also happen to describe the people who are most vulnerable to disasters and have the most difficulty getting assistance recovering from them: the poor and the elderly. ---rsk
