    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

        It’s amazing how these very unregulated tech companies that have been proven time and time again to steal user data and mess up have this blind trust from the public.

          They very much do not. No one trusts them. But they have other value that people are not willing to forego.

        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.

      My city of only 20k people in Texas has a similar app. Not sure what’s going on in California
