Interesting. However, it is something that the governments should be handling rather than a private company. Just an opinion.
Or a central database and disaster management site where you just register the contact details of your loved ones including yourself. Also a good idea is a general notification for groups.
So say I learnt about it and am in the other end of the world, I would want to leave a beep so shrill that my family gets the hell out and run.
Another easy solution is setting up a reminder service from local trends on twitter+natural language processing+ Bloody loud notification depending on threat levels.
- ramchip 16y agoI think close cooperation between private companies and the government has been a trait of Japanese society for a long time. Instead of a single governmental alert service, you'll get the government, NHK, cell phone companies, transport companies, etc., cooperating to get the information out there quickly. For example, the weather service website was being hammered and rather hard to access, but you could see reports on the NHK and Yahoo! websites while the quake was still going on, including tsunami predictions - it's automated, very fast and effective. The siren systems are also automated. The signal is relayed by governmental offices.
