Hi Nothrilled I noticed a few others receiving alerts from places well outside their area. These alerts are cell broadcasted through our network. We are not choosing to which location they are going.

Hi ulrichd (https://forum.telus.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/43214)
We're working through a bug where the Emergency Alert System wasn't registering location appropriately. Obviously you don't want alerts that are in a different part of the country - so this should be resolved shortly. There is no option to
disable the Emergency Alert System - this is a mandatory requirement to provide as part of the TV license from the CRTC.
