Emergency Alerts

[dar1437]

Just playing with my phone settings and noticed an Emergency Alerts button, with a few options like show severe/ extreme threats to life etc.

Just wondering if anyone has ever received a useful alert?

Not an Andriod feature, but recently the Portuguese government sent out a mass SMS telling everyone the number to ring if they see a fire. Except they got the phone number in the message wrong and everyone was ringing Glassdrive!
