You can but it’s on by default and many don't realize you can

Depending on where you are, they might not use the different alert levels properly. In my area the local government uses the "the nukes have launched" alert level for everything, from amber alerts to tornado and ice storm warnings.

It annoying, but also leads to some wonderful moments. I was at small event yesterday, when a weather alert started rolling out. I can only describe it as glorious sitting at the back listening to a sea of angry alarms, and watching people frantically try to silence their phones. Idk if that outweigh the alarm fatigue it gives people, but it was a fun moment for me.

It's a great system but I mean....not exactly the most helpful sometimes.

THERE IS A BROWN CAR WITH A BLONDE GIRL IN IT SOMEWHERE WITHIN 100 MILES OF YOU! 11!1

Thanks Amber. I'll get right on that.
