Is an OEM Weather Emergency Advisory necessary for what every meteorologist said would be a dusting of snow? We got an advisory Sunday and wondered who was at the switch. It’s just unnecessary. It reminds us of the alert we received about the earthquake in New Jersey in April. It was a 4.8 magnitude quake. Everyone seemed to feel it; every news station reported it within minutes and then a full 15 minutes later, the NYC Emergence Alert System sent out their emergency alert. Nobody is going to pay attention to these alerts if NYC doesn’t get it right.
