On an android phone, under Settings, you can view past emergency alerts, including AMBER alerts. I’d like to see a screenshot of this particular alert.
If that alert does not include the actual information, I’ll be happy to pick up my pitchfork. Hell, I’ll even start boiling some tar, but I don’t have a good supplier for feathers…
Until then, what the author is describing does not correspond to my own experiences receiving AMBER alerts, and seems to contradict WEA and EAS policies. I’m open to being proven wrong, I’m just skeptical.
If CHP is only sending Xhitter links, there are problems with CHP, EAS, and WEA, as none of them are supposed to be using the systems that way.
If, instead, they are providing the data and the Xhitter link, the problem is with user expectations.
