790 kHz - NOAA Weather Radio being Heard - SF Bay Area
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.

Mr. AI was trying to make subtle racial remarks. First of all,
Richmond isn't all that close to Oakland. In fact, they are in
different counties. There is a Fry's in Concord, and both towns have
BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) service, so a Richmond resident could
get to Concord even if they didn't own a car. CA is plenty of
RadioShacks as well.

There is no denying Richmond has some tough neighborhoods. However,
parts of town are middle class, and Point Richmond is upper middle
class. Point Richmond was where Pixar was located until they moved to
Emeryville.- Hide quoted text -

M-Sushi,

Richmond is North of Oakland and they are about
15 Miles apart down the 80/580 Freeway on the
East Side of the SF Bay.

The average Citizen of most US Villages, Towns
and Cities does not need a Weather Radio -and-
an 'effective' TIS and "Alert" Radio Broadcast System
located on the AM/MW Band serves more people.

# 1 - The First thing is Emergency "Alert" Sirens

# 2 - The Second thing is a TIS "Alert" Broadcast

# 3 - The Third thing is a Reverse 911 Telephone System

Don't do # 3 until you have fully implemented # 1 & # 2 [.]

The City of Richmond has # 1 and # 2 and is
trying to keep All it's Citizens Safe from Harm.

And Yes I did detect a 'tone' of Racism in "AI"s
comments -but- one thing he said about most
US Households is true - no batteries in Radios
