Add local weather alerts to the alarm system and/or mobile apps
After recent tornadoes hit locally near my home outside of Nashville, I've really been pondering about how to leverage existing tech to provide families with a better alert system.
Simplisafe seems like a logical step towards in-home and always connected weather alerting. My thought is that the base station already knows your location data via ATT and home network. Why couldn't the weather be integrated based on location?
I don't know that it deserves the normal all bells to max alarm volume but there has to be a chime or something audible to make people aware of the impending storms.
I'd love to hear other user's thoughts as well as the Simplisafe team.

Other than that, I have a cheap weather radio that I bought about ten years ago. It's still working well, for the most part and the siren on it is loud enough to wake me up out of a sound sleep. And I sleep with earplugs to block out sound.

This should be a viable add on, even if it's a separate device or announcement through the key pad. We have a weather radio, but this should be an integrated system. Only issue would be if cell service goes down, there would be no warning. Battery backup radio still functions

This technology improvement, for SimpliSafe alarm systems, would be to gather weather data, such as the wind speed, wind direction, rainfall meter, barometric pressure, outdoor temperature, humidity, and other information such as pollen count rating and smoke index rating, which pertain highly to safety and security. This system could be used to detect nearby fires, or health dangers that can be reported to the user and to SimpliSafe.
