I want emergency notifications to wake me up. When the message came out, my phone made the exact same noise you hear for emergency broadcasts. I expected my phone to give me a message regarding a storm or a coming earthquake, but I instead got a pointless amber alert.
This is a great way to destroy the credibility of our emergency alert system.
- k-mcgrady 13y ago>> "but I instead got a pointless amber alert" That sounds like the real issue here then. I'm sure there are others like you who found it useless but quite a lot of people who think it's a great idea. They need to offer a few on/of switches in the settings for types of alert (weather, terrorism, amber alert etc.).
