ODD...AMBER ALERT
Ok, I get this loud ass Amber alert on my cell phone today from Albany GA today. You can't tell me that a kid isn't taken every day or at least once weekly. I should get these all the time. Then I thought, maybe the gov is just testing their public alert system under the guise of "Amber Alert" because they're going to need it some time soon. I look up Albany GA for military bases and see that it's a big Marine Corp Logistics location. Coincidence? Honestly I don't think so or I would get these alerts every other day.

Re: ODD...AMBER ALERT
Here's the official statement on Amber Alert. We should be having an Amber Alert all the time...B.


Did you receive an AMBER Alert on your phone? Learn more about the new Wireless Emergency Alert program.

As of January 1, 2013, AMBER Alerts™ will now be automatically sent through the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) program to millions of cell phone users. If you have a WEA-enabled phone, you are automatically enrolled for the three alerts: President, Imminent Threat and AMBER Alerts. The addition of AMBER Alerts to this notification system is a result of a partnership between CTIA and the wireless industry, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Re: ODD...AMBER ALERT
The National Weather Service relays, but doesn't directly issue, most AMBER Alerts and statewide civil emergency alerts so the alert can be picked up via the Emergency Alert System and transmitted to your phone, television set, etc, etc. But yeah, this recent rash of 'Presidential warning' awareness is starting to look somewhat shady.

Re: ODD...AMBER ALERT
I Googled missing kids in Georgia for 2015 and there are plenty of news listings for July alone. Like I said, my phone should be giving off that loud ass Alert Tone every day but it doesn't. That system is not intended for a missing kid...this system was subsidized by gov funds for other Alert reasons that have nothing to do with kids.

Amber Alerts ARE NOT FOR MISSING KIDS. They are for known abductions.

Yeah, when it went off today, I was thinking something like nuclear war because of the shrill of the sound. Then I read it but thought...damn I don't know what I'd do if this was a real alert. For sure, the roads to the mountains would be bumper to bumper. If you tried to leave at night, the police would surely have everything blockaded by then with detour signs all the way to the nearby Fema location. Anyway, it was rather surreal
