  8. There's a fundamental user-experience failure in the design of the mobile phone emergency alerts.
    As recipient you are so frantic to stop the harsh klaxon sound that you don't get to read the alert text before it's gone.

    Likely few users know where to find the emergency-message history list.

  12. Here are all the alert types for the coming national alert test. Today across the country, but tomorrow in Ontario.

    Hmm, which one would they use to warn us about the United States gov doing something more stupid than usual and threatening our safety (more than usual)? #WrongAnswersOnly

    I'm guessing "Industrial Fire" as that's closest to a dumpster fire.

  23. is anybody else in #Oxford or elsewhere in the #UK getting #EmergencyAlert test signals just now or is that just the rogue phone in my household? (When there was an official widely publicised test last year it went off around 20 times instead of once.)

  26. Just had an Emergency Alert freak me and the cats out (Central France)

    I had. TURNED. THAT FUNCTION. OFF.

    RECENTLY.

    Some update secretly flipped it back on..

    If you want, or *need* it off for whatever reason, check your phone settings again!

    (Wasn't even an emergency)

  27. Never actually had the emergency alert go off while actively holding the phone. ngl, I jumped a little! #Ontario #EmergencyAlert

  28. Residents in Valparaiso, Indiana have been ordered to shelter in place due to an unknown hazardous materials situation near the Industrial Park. The order was first issued around 3:00 (15:00) Central Time.

  29. Interesting that the #emergencyalert popped up on my phone when I was driving and needed to see the satnav as I was at a junction. Clicked 'OK' to get rid of the alert, did what I had to do, parked up and tried to find the alert to read it, only to find it had vanished into the ether. So, that's it, don't read it immediately and you can't read it at all.

  30. Don’t Panic!

    If your phone is making a strange sound right now then that is perfectly normal - unless it sounds like Coldplay. In which case seek help.

  31. If there is a real #EmergencyAlert between now and Sunday we won't know because we've started ignoring the multiple trial alerts.

  32. That UK #EmergencyAlert due on Sunday 7th at 3pm: one phone in my household has received it 5 times today. #CryWolf and all that ?
