Florida emergency alert sent at 4:45 am draws angry response, has DeSantis threatening to fire someone
apologized Thursday after millions of state residents were abruptly awoken in the early morning by a loud emergency alert on their phones.
"We know a 4:45 AM wake up call isn't ideal," the Florida Division of Emergency Management said on Twitter."@FLSERT wants to apologize for the early morning text. Each month, we test #emergencyalerts on a variety of platforms. This alert was supposed to be on TV, and not disturb anyone already sleeping."
"We are taking the appropriate action to ensure this will never happen again and that only true emergencies are sent as alerts in the middle of the night," FLDEM added. One cranky state lawmaker vowed to file legislation to stop overnight emergency alert tests after Floridians were woken up before 5 a.m. Republican state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia said his bill will be called the"Stop Wake Act."
