Debate about the use of frequent emergency alerts sent to cell phones
In an effort to get it out of the other thread, here's a new one.

Good call.

Yes, this would be a better place to discuss this issue.

Though I don't think the other thread was the place to debate it, I do agree with King that alerts going out one minute apart are completely excessive. It would make more sense to send it only once unless there is new information available.
The timing sounds like it was also pretty annoying. I'd be pretty irritated if I were woken up at 6am with an Amber Alert. Chances are, I wouldn't have seen the girl while lying in bed. Or at least, if I did, I'd have bigger issues on my hands than annoyance with my cell phone. |
Katie Horner's true calling.

Do I think it's a big deal for people to live with an alert here and there if it'll help save a life? Certainly not. But do I think that the way it was handled could potentially damage the system's usefulness? Absolutely. |

again a text a second would be worth it if they would have found that child alive because of them. |
