RCB carbon monoxide alert sent at 11:45 PM – vital but too late for most

While the warning was substantively justified and could prevent tragedies, the late timing meant many recipients were already asleep. The incident has sparked debate about whether life-saving alerts should be sent earlier in the evening.
