This is not just some internet uplink, it’s the national emergency number. And on top of that, they sent the wrong phone number with the NL Alert.

Whatever the post-mortem will say, if the national emergency number goes down, it’s a huge fuck-up. People will die because of this.



Didn't even receive an NL alert. My collegue sitting next to me did. I'm on KPN so I guess the alert depends on the specific provider.
