#EmergencyAlerts #SevereWeather

A hearty welcome to folks who have recently come over to Mastodon from the #BirdSite! I recognize some of my old Tweeps over here, and I'm so glad you made it! So, back on the birdsite, I maintained a public list titled #GlobalAlerts. Since coming to Mastodon, I've started a new list, but unfortunately, I can't share it.

However, I copied and pasted my list into a text file -- which includes one of my favorite accounts from the birsdsite, @ai6yr, who graciously hosts and maintains a number of alert-bots. If you miss having #NWS and #EmergencyAlerts, please consider creating your own list with these accounts... Note: #Earthquake related accounts are at the bottom of the list (since there are quite a few here). Suggestions welcome!

Three has successfully tested the UK Emergency Alerts system this morning!

They did not choose to perform a standard alert, like the one received on Sunday, but all devices with test alerts manually enabled successfully received the alert a few minutes ago.

How inappropriate. 😐

I was out today and my phone long-beeped and buzzed like crazy with one of those #EmergencyAlerts designed to startle you:

It's stupid #Globe reminding everyone to register their SIMs.

As if there aren't enough reasons to complain about, mock, laugh at, hate Globe.

#ThreeUK failed to deliver #EmergencyAlert test message to over 90% of it's customers. According to some user poll over 90% of three customers vote did not received the emergency alert test message in UK.

@wood5y @wisteela

It is quite strange. Can you think of a plausible way that this could have happened? The claim is that this is a "technical error", but that doesn't wash.

It doesn't seem like something that some spell-check system would do, or that would be the result of some character set mixup/transmission error.

The only plausible explanation that I can come up with is that the person who wrote the message genuinely didn't know how to spell the word.

We have now finished with our trial of the #EmergencyAlert system

If you did not receive an alert on your mobile phone, then this was due to the fact that you are not scheduled to survive the upcoming extinction level event

#EmergencyAlerts

@lindasgoluppiart

Reportedly, the #WelshLanguage text was actually wrong.

#EmergencyAlerts #MobileTelephones

@Writertrev "first" is probably appropriate. There might be a second one, given that we know from this one that part of the system doesn't yet work.

Looks like I survived the govt phone test. Either I successfully turned it off, or I slept right through it due to being too tired from work. Either is good for me. #EmergencyAlerts #PhoneTest

Alert worked on my mobile even though I'd disabled the 'Emergency Alerts' app or so I thought. Go figure

So the UK tested their new Emergency Alert system today and my wife's phone duly alerted 1m early. Mine didn't. Wondering if that's network dependent?

Well _someone_ has to do a poll.

Note that #2G and #3G 'phones weren't expected to get an alert. That was documented.

That went well, then.
