| #4 TW -- Your point on emergency broadcasting is good, but car radios generally can't be set up to automatically turn on in case of an emergency like some home weather radios can be. There are very few commercially available car radio/weather band combinations available in any case, people will generally not tear out their existing radios to add this feature. Mandating such radios would improve civil readiness in all kinds of emergencies, IMHO. |

| #3 Weather radios can be bought at Radio Shack, and no doubt elsewhere. And most radio stations will break into regular programming in case of emergency. |

| #2 Meanwhile back in the USA it continues to be difficult to find car radios with Weather Band and automatic alert systems built-in. These should be mandatory. |

| #1 --The Fire and Disaster Management Agency is planning to provide every city, town and village in Japan with receivers for satellite signals warning of a ballistic missile attack or natural disaster.-- Chicoms are taking the sats out by laser, this should get interesting. |
