In most of the nation VHF weather radio is used to warn
of disasters, but Richmond residents cannot afford NOAA weather radios
even if they knew about them, and unlike in tornado alley weather
radios are hard to find in California.


They don't have Radio Shack in CA?

I think your whole premise is faulty. Most "average citizens", rich,
middle class, or poor, do not have NOAA radios. They find out about
impending weather conditions from broadcast radio and television.

LW,

WPED339 on 790 kHz in the AM Broadcast Band
is about Communications and reaching People where
they are without requiring any extra effort on their
part to hear you

1 - Nearly Every Household in the USA has
at least one AM/FM Radio ~ 99.73%

2 - Nearly Every Car and Truck in the USA has
a AM/FM Radio ~ 99.73%

TIS and Alert is about keeping it simple and
Reaching People where they are [.] With no
special Weather Radio required .

Keeping the Most People Safe at the Least Expence.

The same concept applies to puting the USCG's
SF Bay Radar Scan and NOAA Weather Audio
on a UHF TV Channel - Most small Boaters
can have a small 'portable' TV on-board to check
things out without going to the expence of buying
expensive extra equipment.

God {Allah} Bless the People of Richmond, CA
and Keep Them Safe from Harm - Amen ~ RHF
