Yeah I heard about this , seems a bit OTT ...but I guess we'll see.

The thought of everyone's phone going off at 3pm next Sunday afternoon is very weird.

i don't want to disable it, i want to know what it sounds like so i know when a real one comes in.

Contrary to the narrative, I think there is a high likelihood that it will be used in the future

What are Emergency Alerts?

The Government says you may get alerts about:

severe flooding
fires
extreme weather
public health emergencies

Would be extremely handy for missing children too. You know for the sort of negligent parents that have their kids abducted when they go out for drinks and dinner.
