Wondering why we are getting emergency alerts a few times every hour for Alberta. We are in BC no where near the affected areas.
it defeats the purpose to have an emergency alert system when it is not accurate, people begin to ignore them.
Hi Lcar if you're getting alerts from the wrong location you would have to contact our care team so they can report it. You can visit us on our Facebook page as well.
- Fabylous may I ask your position with Telus? And if this has been resolved for others? I’m being told that it’s the CRTC forcing this because Telus services AB. This logic escapes me. My previous TV provider services Atlantic Canada and I never once received an alert for that region.
These out-of-region alerts defeat the purpose of having this system in place. I just assume it’s not for my region and don’t even read it now. Just makes me angry, especially if it wakes me up from a nap!Hi BNB187 This is the first time I hear about receiving an alert that is nowhere near where you reside. This is why I suggested to contact our care team to investigate on this situation and find possible resolutions. From the comments, I see you are not the only one having the issue hence why the importance to report it. Thank you.
