Through an GEO of October 5, 2017, in Romania was introduced the system of alternation of the population, RO-ALERT. The RO-Alert system is designed to send Cell Broadcast messages to all the owners of mobile phones that are in an area with potential danger. Terrorized attack, major floods, extreme weather phenomena, fires and other dangerous phenomena. The condition is that the service is activated on the mobile phone.
In the context of pandemic SARS-DONE-2, the RO-Alert system was used to inform the population about the measures and restrictions imposed by the authorities in the region where the message Cell Broadcast was issued. The mandatory pure pure protection in all open spaces, closing theaters, restaurants, bars, schools and etc.
So far there is no problem. The man receives a message, he is scared of once by the sound of the ro-llerian alarm, care cannot be changed and hears at high volume Even if the phone is on "silent" or "vibrations".
The problem is that on an iPhone or smartphone, you get the same RO-Alert message four times within three hours. Ok, the authorities want to know us and that we respect the protective measures, but I probably do not know that the excessive alert will cause many users to deactivate these government alerts.
How can government alerts (RO-Alert) on iPhone be disabled
1. We go to iPhone settings to notification (Settings → Notifications)
2. We run to the bottom, at "Government alerts"Or"RO-ALERT“.
3. In our scenario we have three types of alerts that can be received. Extreme (Extreme Alerts), alerts sent by the operator (Orange Alerts) and severe alerts (Severe Alerts)
4. We slide from the green to the gray to deactivate the service.
Of course, we do not encourage you to disable this service. He also has his usefulness and there are situations in which he can save your life. That is, if the authorities know how to distinguish an "extreme alert" from an informative alert.

As for me, so far this service has been used at least ... stupid by the Romanian authorities. The message should use the cells of mobile operators and issue alerts to a well-established area. I was informed about some smoke releases after a vegetation fire a few km away (and no, you do not think about Australia like fires) and 4 messages in 3 hours, in which it announces to put the protective masks is mandatory, that the schools, the bars, the restaurants, the theaters, the theaters, etc. are closed. I agree with the measures and respect, but I cannot accept a free stress from the authorities.
Emergency Alert should only be used in truly extreme situations, when people's lives are in real danger immediately.
