From the title I assumed a false alarm went off, but instead it was just the system was installed in BC.

    lol .... it's like a family group text chat I had with my siblings a few years ago when my parents were still alive .... "Sorry but dad is no longer with us" ... they were referring to dad having just left the room to go outside for something ... the whole chat blew up with everyone asking if dad had died.

    If this emits as many bogus alerts as the amber alerting system, a politician farting in Edmonton will have everyone in the real West hiding under tables.
