In Switzerland there is an app called Alertswiss which gets published by the government. They use it for critical alerts and you can also use it to see open warnings and where in the country there might be stuff happening.
Just do the same @California
Not that I do not agree, but if you think you'll be able to get Americans, who already do not trust the government, to download an app on their phones made by the government, well I have a bridge to sell you.
Also, have you seen any of the official government websites? They're buttgarbage. Go renew an amateur radio license online and tell me if anyone would intentionally install software designed like that on their devices.
The UK's won several awards for design. It's very easy to use. It would be nice to see something like that for the US.
It's open source.
just deploy it verbatim, and change your laws and taxes to work with what the web services do!
