No, I disabled the emergency alert feature. I don't know if they come through over SMS in the end, or if they have their own special "lane" that got blocked.

I was hoping I'd still get the text, but I didn't.

The issue wasn't with the frequency (maybe one set every few months) so much as the issue was with my phone blaring an alarm at any hour of the day (say, 3am when you're asleep) that doesn't respect DND or volume settings on my phone.

That sounds like an effective solution… for things that are an immediate threat to the general population!

Yes, but not for custody disputes happening hours away with no information given about the suspect to help anyone search for the child! Lol
