It's pretty clear that the current Ontario emergency alert system doesn't have enough checks.
They need to pause the whole system and add in an external approval before messages are sent out.
Also everything is sent out at the "Presidential Alert Level". Presumably because someone gave the contract to their cousin.
- Crosseye_Jack 7y agoUntil the time its needed and there is a delay on sending out the message because the person(s) with the second set of auths isn't available and there is even more press about alerts to the public were delayed because of red tape in the alert system. As someone who recently sent out notifications to a ton of people by mistake (accidentality set a number of twitch streams to live instead of just testing so sending out a ton of "X just went live" notifications for a handful of channels) a simple "Are you really sure you want to do this action? It will do this..." confirmation message goes a long way without the need of a 2nd person to auth the action. Just don't do the confirmation message unless its needed to prevent training people to just click though it.
