Amber alert in Jackson area for 6 year old

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

I was helpfully woken up before 5am this morning even though I was about 4-5 hours away from Jackson.

They really need to figure that shit out. I'll gladly have the emergency alerts going off for things in my area, but I can't keep the alerts on and have it wake up me and kids randomly at 2am for stuff not in the area. I had already had to turn the alerts off because I was getting irrelevant amber alerts and flash flood alerts in the middle of the night; I guess one of the system updates switched it back to the default setting. Just make the damn thing a screen alert and not an emergency alarm that blares even when your phone is on silent.

The amber alerts are such a good thing is stupid to make it so painful for people to keep them on.

I get some of that, but by the time the sent out the alert they could've been already 3 hours from Jackson. Which puts you possibly in a better position to see the cars if they're out of Jackson. There definitely needs to be some tweaks to the system though.

Fair enough, but neither I nor my kids were in position to see any cars prior to 5am. The real issue is making it a silent alarm. That would have been just as effective by letting me know before I left the hosue when I might actually see people/cars, and would have resulted in me also seeing future notifications. Maybe there is a way to make it silent by phone settings, but all I could find was a toggle switch to either receive it or not, so we will not be receiving future notifications, at least until it's a regular occurrence to get a full night's sleep.

To bad you lost sleep. I'm sure that's the worst thing that happened in this situation*********
