Also my words...
So then following your logic, it would be irresponsible for me to follow your previous recommendation and turn off my phone when I don't want to be disturbed...no?
Well yes but you clearly do NOT want to be disturbed between the hours of 10pm and 6am. I'm just saying if alerts in the middle of the night piss you off, you have two choices.
They still issue alerts. I've even gotten calls on my landline to test the emergency broadcast system. Well that and a pack of iodine pills or something in case of a nuclear emergency.
