Sean,

Are you saying use of a WEA Alert about the CA COVID Lockdown, when everyone
not living in a cave already knew about it, was a good use of WEA?

CALOES has made a lot of progress in three years.  And is far ahead of most
other states (and territories) in public alerting and warning.

It would be nice if all states (and FEMA or FCC) regularlly reviewed their
usage of public alerting and warning systems; and shared lesson's learned.
Few states do that.

As part of the WEA 3.0 changes, in addition to 0.1 of a mile geo-targeting,
FCC also added Public Safet Alerts.

   Public Safety Alerts - Contains information about a threat that may not
   be imminent or after an imminent threat has occurred.
