Is this going to be like the local emergency systems which are meant for major emergencies but seem to interrupt radio and TV programs every time there's a heavy rain or a child goes missing for five minutes?

This is going to be even better, because every time they test it or use it for a missing puppy alert it will also crash the entire cellphone network for at least three days  :-)

That's similar to the mis-use of the NWS weather alerts.

After about the 4th "alarm" to tell me it's going to rain somewhere I shut the thing off.
I bought it to warn about tornadoes, not rain.

I just hope it doesn't go off as often as Fox News Alerts do. They just did one a couple of minutes ago for police looking for a burglary suspect near Atlanta. Good Grief!
