With all of our electronic advancements......

With all of our electronic advancements why is it so hard to add cell phone technology to our weather satellites? Program the weather satellite to notify and area of an impending storm, etc. It seems some small towns are adding text message alerts to their neighborhood alert system for school closing etc. There could even be a relay service set up to read the text message over a phone line for people who sign up that don't have a mobile phone or the deaf. It seems like something easy. Junk Mail and spam can make it threw why couldn't the government?!?
