Would you want a telephone to save your life int eh event of a disaster, natural or manmade?
Good idea, bad idea....Suppose you block areas because of your use of the airwaves.
It’s all good until the phone lines go down. What about the spotty cell phone service areas and I never have mine on 99.9% of the time. Still, it’s a good idea.
This year, our school put in such a system and they had to use it already. Of course, by the time it called me, I had know of the situation 2 hours earlier and another time for bad weather. Individual departments such as sports or theater arts are also using it for after school practice info so that’s a big bonus.
So how soon before some ne’er-do-wells with a computer calling program send out bogus emergency messages to start a panic?
