Just catching up with R4 #BroadcastingHouse #BH
Good 2 hear Paddy O'Connell thought that the #EmergencyAlert on Friday was overkill!
Happy to report that there's different levels of alert + that the government could have chosen a less invasive approach
Shame they took a sledgehammer to crack a nut! -
Academic John Ritzema called it a “massive overreach” and said the alert system should be “be for ‘drop everything and prepare for something terrible’ situations”, something Coffey echoed, saying alerts should not become commonplace to avoid “Peter cries wolf situations”.

Rather than anyone on #UK soil receiving an #emergencyalert on their mobile about bbqs, it's #ThamesWater management who should receive them every time there is a #leak. Taken today opposite #Brixton station. Another one is up #BrixtonHill, leaking for over 8 days on the worst #drought in 190 years. In the same week, ThamesWater DOUBLED my bill and awarded their CFO £1m "signing fee", circumnavigating the existing ban on performance-related #bonuses.

RE: https://scicomm.xyz/@unchartedworlds/117095449603547769
My thoughts exactly and I will add similar feedback. Also want to point out that the message sent to those of us #Wales is NOT sent by the Welsh Government but by the UK government.

#UK Need to keep a hidden phone silent from Government Alert to protect yourself?
While it is recommended that the alerts should be kept on if at all possible, those with a secret device can opt out via their phone’s settings.
On iOS devices, enter the ‘notifications’ tab & switch off ‘severe alerts’ and ‘extreme alerts’.
Those with an android device should search for ‘emergency alert’ before using the toggle to switch it off.

I've seen a lot of people asking whether the #EmergencyAlert could've played a less alarming sound on this occasion (a request to not light any kind of fire outdoors during this heatwave and very dry spell, in the UK).
The answer is no: phones only have one kind of emergency alert, which is designed to be very intrusive because it's for urgent situations. It's not something that the Government can control.
So rather than "Was the sound appropriate for the alert?", we should perhaps be asking "Was the alert appropriate for the sound?"
In this case, which was the first this-is-not-a-drill use of the system in the UK, I believe the Government abused it because no specific threat or event occurred, this evening specifically, to warrant it — especially not nationwide. And many people will now disable the feature for crying wolf.
Unless I'm mistaken, the Government also has the option to send it as a text message, which would've been more appropriate this time.

A #teletext recreation of tonight's #emergencyalert
Back in the day, could Ceefax and/or Oracle have replaced every transmitted page with an alert so it would have appeared no matter what page you selected?

4 of us got alerts. 4 didn't. They were on iPhone/Giffgaff.
Last time my parner all of 2 feet away got an alert. I didn't. Identical phones - same network.
Still work to be done to get a truly nstional emergency alert system working.

People are criticising the government for the #EmergencyAlert but if it gets my neighbour to stop having a nightly fire pit, which they leave burning when they go to bed, then it has my support!
Seriously, some people have zero common sense and need things hammering into them with an oversized sledgehammer.

Millions of people across England and Wales have received an emergency alert this evening (Aug 14) warning against lighting anything that could spark a wildfire 🚨
The alert, which went out just after 7pm, flashed up with a loud alarm and repeated vibrations for around ten seconds
