I was using the netflix app and suddenly there was an alarm and a warning popped up on the screen. Also, a voice started to read the alert to me. Something about a blizzard.
Emergency alert: Severe
Response type: Prepare
Severity: Extreme
Urgency: Take action within the next hour
Certainty: Likely
Blizzard Warniing this area til 6:00 PM PST Mon. Prepare. Avoid Travel. Check media.
I have to admit it startled me. I had no idea that there was an emergency alerts feature until I got that one. At the same time I am confused because I haven't heard anything about snow here, much less a blizzard (I'm in Eugene, OR).
So do these come from google? From the carrier? Is it based on my actual location or my billing address?
