It was announced a while ago. In Turkey, tomorrow, on November 2, disaster drill to do.
Süleyman Soylu, Minister of Interior of the Republic of Turkeyjust now “Tomorrow, on the anniversary of the Düzce earthquake, we will hold a national exercise at 18:57. Radios will announce drills, TVs will announce drills. Announcement will be passed automatically. From the established system, a message will be sent to all of Turkey at the same time” in the statement found. In this regard, the situation that has occurred in the past months immediately came to mind.
in last June Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD), Android and iOS sent to phones “Call the single number 112 Emergency Call Center in case of emergencies such as floods, floods and landslides that we encounter due to the ongoing meteorological conditions in our country.” He scared everyone with his Vital Alert Notification message.
The content of this message is pleasingly extremely frightening (Earthquake, tsunami etc. as) there was no case. This is what basically scares people here. there was an incredibly loud sound created by the sent message on the phones and an advanced vibration that is not normally seen. Many people received this message for the first time and were incredibly surprised. Especially while driving Vital Alert Notice Those who were faced with the accident stated that they experienced a surprise that could create the risk of an accident.

Usually abroad This system is used for the upcoming very large natural events., Since it was used for such a standard information in Turkey, it received some backlash. By the way, this warning did not go to certain operators in Turkey. For example, while most Turkcell users received notifications, Vodafone had some who did not. To some people More than one notification came in, doubling the fear.
If you want these notifications, your phones It can be turned off via notification settings.. However, we strongly do not recommend that you do this. We think that AFAD and other institutions have never used this system after the situation in June, and scary notifications were not sent for normal situations. In this respect, it is important for security to keep the Vital Alert Notifications open no matter what.
