## Resource

Australia just tested its new emergency alert system, AusAlert, with mixed results — 94% of targeted towers successfully sent alerts, beating the 90% target, but many users missed it entirely or received it too late, with some in remote areas like the Simpson Desert getting nothing at all. While disaster survivors see the system’s lifesaving potential, officials are already gathering feedback to improve coverage and reliability, working with phone companies to ensure more devices are reached. The government has launched a feedback page to hear from the public as they refine this critical new tool. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
