And then there's another problem, which is that once all those different agencies have this facility, they're going to (ab)use it as they see fit.
A year or two ago, Alabama issued a state-wide "blue alert" when a police officer was shot. So my weather/all-hazards radio alarm went off at 3am for something that happened 200 miles away. I then disabled that alert category. I only have severe weather warning categories enabled now (because tornadoes are a thing I do want to know about). -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
