The Amber Alert should be upgraded to remove the anoying sound and just display a message box that needs to be acknowledged like in the Unitedstates.

This way people that are awake have no other choice than to see the message and can act accordingly.  It does not make any sense to wake up the hole country in the middle of the night at 3AM with the end of the world ringing!

The kids are having panic attack every time and cannot go back to sleep.  This is a major stress-anxiety generator for everybody! 

Canada please do something!

Carriers have no say in how the amber alerts are delivered. They are provincially run and the alert system is the National Alert Aggregation and Dissemination System . If your children keep getting panick attacks from a phone alarm, you can try adjusting the settings available in “wireless emergency alerts” in your phone/their phones if they have any to see if that’ll reduce the incidents.

You can submit proposals to them directly to adjust how mandatory notifications should be made.
