So for the non-Canadians on the board, Canada rolled out our new emergency alert system (cellphones, TVs, radio, etc.) last week with nationwide tests. The tests didn't go well and there were plenty of problems where some phones got it and others didn't - my office only had one cellphone go off with the test alert.
This morning I heard just one device go off in the office, and it was too far away for me to hear the words, but it was for this alert. I'm 1500 km away! I have no idea how the geolocation worked on that one, I assume someone was listening to an internet radio station physically located in Ontario.
I swear, if the alert goes off again, I'm going to need CPR! I just received a second alert en francais and my heart is still racing--I had no idea my phone could go that loud! Interestingly enough, neither I nor anyone I know received the test alert last week so I am relieved that this one came thru.
Pretty sad that on all the social
Media has posts about this kiddo are basically people annoyed about the alert on their phone. My gosh. Smh. Jmo. A baby is missing. Sorry to inconvenience you for 3 seconds.
Thank goodness.
Yes I did post about it but not getting it. Not upset that I did get it like some people. Now mind you because Ive never got alert I have no idea how it would sound. I wonder why I dont get them. My partner does and we have the same phone. Even on the same plan lol. Weird. Must be a setting on my phone I turned on/off.
It was just upsetting to read that so many people were so mad about the alert.
