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.
In other news, Generac has been doing land office business lately.
