new federal grant available for warning systems
Perhaps it has been recent and very public warning failures, or perhaps this has been in the works for a while. See this story, FEMA Announces $40M Funding to States and Tribal Nations to Help Notify the Public During Emergencies, https://www.hstoday.us/subject-matter-areas/emergency-preparedness/fema-announces-40m-funding-to-states-and-tribal-nations-to-help-notify-the-public-during-emergencies/
The $40M in funding is a drop in the bucket to address all the national challenges that exist. I’ve seen things like this in the past…you wanna bet that the Texas communities impacted by flash flooding don’t get one of these grants!
