yikes. A simple question by the OP, and a simple response by me - elicits these type of rsps?>>

First - so judgmental...

1. Again TWO phone calls at 4AM and just after.
2. We have ALWAYS received ALERTS via text or call our cells - NEVER Landline. Did THIS go out via text or cell - NOT to ours.
3. We don't live anywhere near the the missing person location - so him walking to our door and knocking...?
4. Did YOU folks receive the calls then???
5. We have a landline simply because we CAN, at no cost. Another means of comm.

...it's so simple to sit behind an anonymous naysayer keyboard.

So, the alert should have gone out after some of you have read the paper, watched the news on TV, and had your morning coffee? If you don't want to be bothered with an alert about a senior potentially in a life threatening situation because the timing is bad for you, Unsubscribe!!!

It seems the person in question should have wandered away at a more convenient time, for you anyway.

An alert is not for search and rescue, It’s A BEWARE notification, in case this person comes to your door.

Of course what if it was your spouse that they would be searching for, then would a 3am call be OK.

It’s a simple thing if you don’t want to be notified of an issue then unsubscribe, it’s simple to do. To think things only happen from 10a to 4pm should be in a comedy act.

Sleep peacefully, without notification you will never know something is wrong

Why do people have land lines these days?

Very well said. Did not like getting the call but if the guy comes to your door you will know what is going on.

Anyone registered for emergency notifications with Sumter County received calls
