A use for CAP? As FEMA is a member . . .

Where will you be when the next dangerous storm--or terror attack--hits your area? If you're away from a radio or television, there will likely be a lag time between when the emergency hits and when you become aware of it, and in the worst case scenario--a tornado bearing down your neighborhood, say--that lag can have disastrous consequences. Starting October 1, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) wants to get emergency alerts to people wherever they are via text messages sent to their cell phones, PDAs, and pagers. Unfortunately, getting the standards-splintered cell phone industry to agree on a single approach may prove difficult.
