Yes, that is the claim I’m looking to verify. Is that claim accurate?
You can view past alerts you have received. On android phones, Settings > Notifications > Wireless Emergency Alerts > Emergency alert history. (or just search for “Amber”). One screenshot can easily prove or disprove the article’s claim.
Again, if this is actually what happened, it indicates a problem not just with CHP, but also with EAS and WEA for not ensuring the requested alert message included the emergency content.
Post with a screenshot someone posted elsewhere in the thread. California sent the alert out in the shittiest way possible. It’s not the system itself, it’s how California is choosing to do it. I’ve never had any emergency alerts here in AZ be remotely this useless.

Yeah, they were responding to me. :)
Ohio’s include descriptions of suspects, victims, vehicles, locations, etc.
Same here in AZ. I’m sure there are times photos are posted to Twitter too or something, but that’s separate from the actual alert info.
