I understand my county may be feeling their way through this whole emergency alert thing, but I am not sure that waking me up at 6:20 am to tell me that the neighborhood >9 miles away no longer has to stay indoors because of police activity is a good use of the system. For one thing, it makes me want to un-sign up or silence the number immediately.
(Previously on This Is New: my county’s 3rd party emergency alerts are formatted like scam messages.)
(In before post: they called again!)

@peterdrake We’re Westside too. The initial message I got earlier than you, and I was more in charity with it, since A. PBB is in fact a dangerous disaster! and 2. I hadn’t managed to get to sleep yet. Having now not managed to get BACK to sleep after the 6:20am one, charity is no longer available from me.
