The semi-joke amoung the emergency management community, if tech firm CEOs 
lived in the mid-west (tornado alley) or south-east (hurricane coasts) 
instead of west-coast (silicon valley & seattle), all tech products would 
already support emergency alerts.

Somehow, I doubt if their recent experience with wildfires in the Bay Area 
will change any tech CEOs' opinions or amazon, google, apple smart product 
managers' project plans for supporting emergency alerts.

Samsung is likely the most advanced in this area, because the South Korean 
government has been 'encouraging' korean firms for several years to build 
emergency alert technology into their products.
