Florida emergency alert sent at 4:45 am draws angry response, has DeSantis threatening to fire someone

apologized Thursday after millions of state residents were abruptly awoken in the early morning by a loud emergency alert on their phones.

"We know a 4:45 AM wake up call isn't ideal," the Florida Division of Emergency Management said on Twitter."@FLSERT wants to apologize for the early morning text. Each month, we test #emergencyalerts on a variety of platforms. This alert was supposed to be on TV, and not disturb anyone already sleeping."

"We are taking the appropriate action to ensure this will never happen again and that only true emergencies are sent as alerts in the middle of the night," FLDEM added. One cranky state lawmaker vowed to file legislation to stop overnight emergency alert tests after Floridians were woken up before 5 a.m. Republican state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia said his bill will be called the"Stop Wake Act."

Emergency Management is a federal division of homeland security. Homeland security was a total Jan 6 failure..it is comprised of liberal hacks, no surprise here. Just more deep state proof.

Florida got everyone woke?

We were one of the households woken up. Not fun

Native Floridians don't know better.

Hey, but we all woke up so at least we know it works as intended, haha 🤣
