While we #geeks play with #meshcore , the industry and governments work on global emergency messaging (one to many alerts) using #etsi standardized #dab. See https://www.worlddab.org/dab/asa-emergency-warnings
The czech state radio just announced a pilot too https://www.lupa.cz/aktuality/cesky-rozhlas-otestuje-novy-zpusob-varovani-obyvatel-technologii-zaplati-operator/
Any tips about battery efficient DAB+ portable radio with this capability? Ideally AA powered!

I was recently looking for a DAB+ radio that will alert me via the ASA emergency messaging feature deployed in Germany 🧵. But typical ASA-enabled rigs run on AC mains power exclusively. Power gone? ASA gone! 😯 I finally found+bought a "TechniSat DigitRadio 1 A" that is off-grid able via a rechargeable battery. It's a fine DAB+ radio, but that battery is about 15x too small for ASA, imho. A mere 12-14 hours of ASA monitoring will render it dead empty (when no messages come in). 🤦 @marsik@witter.cz
