Turning off emergency alerts is easy. It’s a few taps in your settings. But think carefully. That shrieking noise is annoying, but it might also be the reason you don’t get washed away in a surprise tsunami. Play it smart. Silence the stuff that clearly doesn’t apply to you—like a missing person alert from another state—but maybe, maybe keep the one that says “Take cover now.”
Now go, brave soul. Tame the digital beast. And if you still get woken up by a test at 3 AM, just throw your phone under a pillow. It’s not the official fix, but it works for me. Cheers to quieter nights.
