Xbox update suggestion for NOAA/NWS capabilities

I feel like Microsoft should jump on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Weather Service update. We have come very far with technology in the past century from the arcade at the mall to the arcade in your Series X. Our phones let us know of impending weather problems like tornadoes and hurricanes, so what's stopping my Xbox from the implementation of NOAA/NWS radio capabilities?

I believe that this update is something to consider because nobody watches TV and listens to the radio anymore, no one is on their phone during a live game, and it's important to know your local weather however severe.

My first argument is with TV and radio. It is 2023, and the National Weather Service in my state's capital needs to be issued a change in technological venue. For a long time, the TV and the radio have been our friends in letting us know how we can be safe against an onslaught of hail or a dangerous tornado or just a warning to be on the lookout. If any update would be beneficial to us, it would be the one telling me that i may need to go down to the basement for my safety.

My next point is with phones. There is the phone obsessed, then there's the "game obsessed". The buddy in the room who is always on Elder Scrolls or GTA Online. The guy who will never change his gaze from the big screen to the small screen. In other words, utilizing this console update time to invite NOAA/NWS to the party means that gamers from California to New York island, from Canada to Brazil, and from USA to Japan will have immediate access through their console to information that just may save their lives from that tsunami racing to the shore or that sandstorm getting ready to scratch your house paint to non-recognition.

The third and most important thing is that it is just common sense and ultimately safety-conscious for this console to have that software that will warn mine and millions of people's families about the severe damage in tornado alley or a sudden, life-endangering change in size to the Bermuda Triangle or something. I believe in the power of the weather person, and i believe in the power of the NOAA/NWS.

To put it into a summarized suggestion, if Microsoft would consider this for an update, it would replace the need for televisual and radio warnings, it would help keep the gamer informed through the console when the phone is ignored, and it's imperative to have this information anyhow. So the next update that is needed for your personal Xbox is one I hope i can thank for helping me prepare for the following weather.
