Reverse 911 Emergency Alert System FAIL!!!
« on: June 10, 2016, 09:48:42 AM »
Last night around 10pm, an "emergency alert...shelter in place...lock down" was issued via Reverse 911 to every phone in an area about 15 miles north of me due to a manhunt for an active shooter (middle eastern*) involving a deputy and others.

I had work scheduled in that area today. 

My gripe is that after the shooter was captured just before 5am, the authorities did NOT issue an "all clear" via Reverse 911 to my co-workers who live in the affected area and had received the initial alert.  The initial alert claimed there would be an "all clear" sent when the situation was resolved.

Chalk up another rather inconvenient shortcoming of this intrusive system.

*EDIT:  Later info suggests that the shooter is most likely NOT a suicidal "jihadi."  The situation looks like a domestic incident gone bad.

Glad it is over however...

 :tinfoil: placed firmly on my balding globe: Why are the powers to be doing reverse 911 calls? What a great way to keep folks in their home while the military rolls into your town.  :tinfoil: removed.

Stay tuned...

They hit us with the 'Amber Alerts' every twenty minutes for the duration when they activate the system.. I've turned the notifications off due to it..
