I can't believe the outcry by some on social media, from something that is being introduced to make people safer. Some proudly boasting that they 'won't comply' and will turn off alerts. One said it made people jump and if they were using a chainsaw, they might have an accident. It wasn't so different from a phone ring tone, so that is a ridiculous argument.
Alerts could be used for anything, warning of floods, fire, an escaped prisoner, a missing child. Alerts don't have to be national, they can be used to warn of local dangers. Other countries have had them for years, introducing it here is a good thing.

I think these are very unlikely uses. Terrorist activity is the most likely use.

If they were using a chainsaw on a Sunday afternoon I'd say an accident would probably be a good thing.

Same.
I was partially concerned believing my data may have been hacked.
Alexa should have mentioned it
