State: Cell phone alerts could save lives:
"President Bill Clinton stood amid the rubble of a Kissimmee campground destroyed by killer tornadoes nine years ago and promised a new effort to develop a better warning system.
The government must study 'whether we can give some sort of satellite system, a buzzer system, bells and whistles to make sure people get advance warning,' Clinton said.
At the time, the technology for such a system had existed for more than four years, but it had never been turned on.
Now it has existed for more than a dozen years.
And it's still not turned on."
