Not so easy to implement this the right way I guess. For local emergencies the German app solution seems to work adequately, but for big emergencies the cell broadcast should definitely be an option.
But I see your point, a system like that should be used in a reasonable manner.
Edit: and by „not foreseen to be used“ I mean that Germany can’t, because we don’t have the required technical infrastructure.
- qwertox 6y ago> For local emergencies the German app solution seems to work adequately Are you sure about this? While the NINA App did provide me with weather warnings as well as (possibly pinned) warning about the Coronavirus, I have no information about the delay with which those messages were provided to me. It could well have been a delay of over half an hour or more, without me noticing it. Yesterday I decided to uninstall the NINA App, since it showed me that it doesn't work. It had all the permissions necessary to pop up a message and to notify my with a sound, yet it didn't do anything.
- milgrim 6y agoNo, I am not sure about the delay. But the app informed me a few times about things that were happening (fires, bomb disposals) that I would otherwise not have know about. And it looks like the delay yesterday was actually caused by the bavarians (http://blog.fefe.de/?ts=a1a4ef27 http://blog.fefe.de/?ts=a1a4ef27). But that something like this is even possible in this system is ridiculous of course -.-
- zeeZ 6y agoThis could also be used for local things, by limiting which towers broadcast the message and which don't. No gps, app or data plan required.
