For this reason it’s super short-sighted for government agencies to send out too many of these alerts to folks who don’t need to be getting them.
About a month ago I received three separate emergency alerts on consecutive days just to inform me that wildfire evacuation orders for regions about 40 miles away from me had been lifted. One would presume that the affected people who had been evacuated would be following the news and could get that information without blasting many thousands of people far from those areas. Hate to do it, but one or two more of these and I’ll disable the alerts myself.
