how often is this happening in the middle of the night? I doubt getting woken up for 2 minutes once every 6 months is going to cause havoc on the streets.
how often have you been woken up by an amber alert? probably not too many. you're more likely to be sleep deprived by having drinks and watching an 8:00pm flames game than you are by getting woken up for an amber alert.
