all the time.&nbsp; Most of the time, however, these new uses do not actually require enthusiasts to go out and get a new phone.&nbsp; Instead, generally all that is needed is for phone users to download an app that will provide the new functionality.<\/p>\n<p>The situation is different when it comes to the National Weather Service alerts that are scheduled to begin this week.&nbsp; The NWS has set up a nationwide emergency alert system in cooperation with other federal agencies such as FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) and the FCC (the Federal Communications Commission).&nbsp; Together, these agencies will coordinate to deliver emergency alerts to cell phone towers located inside the area in need of such an alert.<\/p>\n<p>Most cell phones currently in use, however, will not be able to pick up these alerts.&nbsp; According to Diane Cooper of the NWS, &#8220;People need, when they&#8217;re looking to buy a new phone, they really need to make sure that they&#8217;re a savvy shopper.&nbsp; They want to look for the wire emergency alerts capability, or WEA.&nbsp; Some cell phone providers are also calling it commercial mobile alert system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most new kinds of functions coming onto the cell phone market, this one could actually save lives if it helps alert recipients to evacuate an area before a weather disaster hits.&nbsp; This means that a new phone is probably necessary, particularly for those who live in areas where serious weather events are a regular occurrence.&nbsp; If you buy a WEA capable phone, do not forget the importance of recycling cell phones you will no longer be using.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cell phones have become almost universal in US society,
