I've written to FEMA a number of times and have never gotten so much as a reply back. Thomas Edison once said that invention is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. I find that simply getting the word out about your invention is by far the hardest part.
It seems to take more than having a warning device that outperforms existing warning sirens to make FEMA notice. I'm hoping that the websites and blogs will stir up some interest so that they will notice.
It will take a paradigm shift in their way of thinking for them to finally realize that there is actually a better alternative, as sirens have been the standard for large scale warning applications for over 60 years. Recent news stories have proven current siren technology has outlived its usefulness in reaching the indoor population. The high pitch tones current sirens use just don't carry well over distance or penetrate outer walls of buildings. That's where my device would really excel.
The most overlooked opportunities are in the learning of and improvement in old technologies.
