Even if you didn’t get the Alberta Emergency Alert, you knew something was up.
When a young Saskatchewan girl was abducted in North Battlefords, Alberta Emergency Alert was quick to share the news.
Phones and televisions across the province lit up with the news, but even if you didn’t get it, it wouldn’t have taken long for you to find out what was going on.
Word spreads quickly, but having the Emergency Alert system just helps it get out there that much faster.
This way, people know to take to social media or other means to let those who may not have caught wind, that something was going on.
So even though not every single Albertan heard the news via their phones or television sets, you can be sure they knew that a six-year-old had been abducted just one province over.
The system is proving to work, and it could ultimately save a few lives, whether it has to do with a kidnapping, extreme weather, wildfires, or other disaster, we can rest easy knowing that every Albertan will find out about it, one way or another.
