It’s good that someone is paying attention to this, and yet, what good are emergency alerts when urban planners are focused with all their might on making sure the entire Bay Area is in permanent gridlock and no one can get around, even when advances in energy technology change the environmental picture? And even when the consequences are urban blight and almost insurmountable challenges (thinking S.F.)? I mean, thinking of how foreseeable lack of egress directly caused loss of life in the Paradise, Maui, and other disasters, we should require all development laws to be subject to holistic safety review. Safety first, instead of the current What safety?
