Emergency Alerts

[danirabbit]

Android and iOS both seem to deliver localized emergency alerts such as weather warnings, amber alerts, etc. @quassy helped do some research on emergency alert APIs:

The Unites States NWS has this JSON API: https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api

It looks like we can request access to IPAWS alerts by sending an email: https://www.fema.gov/services-and-systems#

MissingKids.org has public REST endpoints http://www.missingkids.org/bin/ncmecEndpoint?endpoint=en_US&rest=&action=hashTables&languageCountry=en_US

I'm going to move this to settings-daemon since it seems like it might be better for another running process to handle sending notifications

Just wanted to update here that KDE is running an emergency alerts server these days https://invent.kde.org/webapps/foss-public-alert-server
