Still not fixed!
Received a Fort McMurray alert today around 5:30pm.
Your developers contacted me for my information and I relayed what was needed. I have received no further communication other than " we forwarded the problem ".
PLEASE fix this! The alerts are loud and causes everyone to jump to attention and yes, they do work.
I'm asking to ensure you only send alerts that impact us.
