reminder to US folks, USpol-adjacent 

can't receive alerts if your phone is set to airplane mode, and if enough people do it you may just overload the system with bounceback messages

deeeeefinitely don't use this information or anything :thinkhappy:

@Thaminga Bounce back? Seems like it'd just be a blind blast and only potentially have retransmit stuff for the local tower.

@ceralor That's what I heard at least, so I wouldn't know the technical details myself, but hey.

It's probably a good idea to set your phone to airplane mode/turn it off for like five minutes while it's happening regardless.

@Thaminga I'm going to encourage my call center to do so.
