It’s pretty reasonable to let people know about what’s happening and how to get help if needed, and the inconvenience worth any life’s saved.

- Phemist 7y agoOfcourse, I am not advocating for turning the system off. But I would tread more cautiously with something like this if a) it is very easily turned off if perceived as of net negative value in a spur of the moment decision, but difficult to opt back in, b) the security of the system as a whole depends on at least a few people in any given group at any time of day receiving the messages, especially if these technical issues persist with random arrivals of message delivery and c) the scope of the system is expected to expand in the near future.
- jacquesm 7y agoYou have a very valid point. Systems like this should work flawlessly and should only be activated when it is really necessary otherwise by the time we need them they'll be switched off by people that get tired of being woken up. Case in point: smoke alarms that wake up half the neighborhood when their batteries need replacement.
