New Alert system to work on cell phones but what if you get an alert at 3am???

They should have an actual warning system like they have when the annual "purge" happens (for those who are not aware, I am making reference to the Purge movies). That way "everyone" will take notice. Screw those who place the importance of watching their favorite tv show over the welfare of a child or safety of the public. WTF is wrong with people today. Life is full of inconveniences and disturbances. If you don't like them move to areas where contact with others is non-existent.
There used to be "air raid" or some kind of warning sirens in many places, installed during the Cuban missile crisis I believe. I remember them testing them here, but they have all been removed now.
Most of the alerts are spam / garbage
Read the actual page
I could care less about an Amber Alert or any one of the useless info texts they plan to send
lol
Actually Amber Alerts and Severe Weather warnings are both included
Shows what you know
So anytime it gets cold (-10) or hot (35) you get a warning
There was a weather warning just this week due to high winds
Don't sweat it many phones actually do not even support this garbage
You can also break support quite easily (although this is illegal and we should never encourage it etc etc before thought police get me)
Yup
We got 1 every 20 minutes until it was cancelled
We would have got 1 every 20 minutes for thd first 3 hours. According to our OPS CENTRE

I got it, all 3 as well. Amber Alert in English, then French then cancelled.
Anyone know where Copenhagen Road in Gorham Township is? There's no Gorham Township and two Copenhagen Roads on Google Maps.
Now how would the general public know that? If you search Google Maps Gorham Township, nothing comes up. Try Gorham ON and it shows a location north of Thunder Bay but 28 kms from Copenhagen Road in Shuniah ON and nowhere near Copenhagen Road in Mississauga.
If they want to get this right, could it hurt to be more specific regarding the location. It should also be regional. What are the people of Toronto to do about an Amber Alert 1,400 kms away?
Basically, if you're in Toronto, keep your eyes peeled for silver car with a loud exhaust near Thunder Bay.

That’s a strange one.
I got the alert. Read it.
Wondering why I got an alert for a domestic kidnaping near Thunder Bay.
I checked around my apt. Nope, not hiding here. 2nd alarm I jumped out of my seat cause phone was right beside me.
Same alarm showed up on tv. I was on CTV at the time.
I wonder if it was supposed to be regional, or province wide? Does the person sending the alarm know? Who decided to send it?
And, did sending the amber alert lead to saving the little boy or the arrest of Grammy ?
Apparently you only get the alerts if you're on an LTE network. If you're at home on your WIFI you probably won't get it.
I got that VERY amber alert 3 times today, even after I shut it off after the first one.
Can cops not find a way to turn down the volume a bit??
