PolicyGuy:

 

I'd classify this as an abuse of the Emergency Alert system.

 

If I may ask, where are you? I live near the coast and got the alert. Was it nationwide (silly) or just in coastal areas?

Well they're definitely abusing the system now: I just got woken up by one that blasted right through the mute switch and just repeated the same stuff they'd already told us during waking hours.

 

Edit: Sorry, didn't notice that there's another thread about this.

This whole article feels like someone needed to make a note about the 6.30am mobile alert: Tsunami emergency alert gives NZ an early morning wake up | Stuff

It was deliberately done to punish those who were late to bed after going to the beach at midnight 😁

Yep - this was midnight last night at Mairangi Bay.




Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
