Last week I had boarded a flight at LHR and the crew were just starting their safety briefing when everyone's phones went off with that wildfires 'emergency' alert message.
I was unimpressed with the message, along with the (non-UK) crew.
- alansaber 29d agoMy completely unsubstantiated impression is that it was the govt putting out a feeler on whether it should use the alert system more frequently (and afaik it was relatively unpopular)
- johneth 29d agoI'd have to agree, given the past alerts (https://www.gov.uk/alerts/past-alerts https://www.gov.uk/alerts/past-alerts) seem to be reasonable and localised. Hopefully they take heed.
- GJim 29d agoI'm puzzled why your entirely factual and relevant statement documenting your experience has been downvoted. Would a downvoter care to explain themselves?
