We have studies showing supposed increases in auto accidents and deaths after the daylight savings adjustments that we all know about ahead of time. Now we're blaring alarms for millions of people in Ontario at a pace of every 3 weeks at 5 AM, 6 AM and 8 AM (in this latest instance).
In fact, for your situation usage of the proper tiers would force the message onto your phone without the blaring alarm. You'd see it when you woke up and be ready to react as needed. People already awake (perhaps at shift work) would be forced to see the message and be ready to react as needed. And people that were asleep wouldn't have to been woken 3 or more times during their sleep. Not sure why that possible change might be so offensive?
But I get it, "think of the children!"

Well its actually "think of this specific child who's LIFE has been deemed to be in danger".
"here is their name and description and where they might be and what vehicle they might be in"
"If you can help us...great! If not, go back to sleep."
