    Roma City Bombing Case Study

    1) I feel like the first act done by the NYPD, alerting the residents of Chelsea about the bombing, was a responsible use of sending out the CMAS messages.

However, the second message sent by the NYPD, to all residents of NYC about the bombing, wasn't necessary needed. The alert was sent in the morning, meaning majority of NYC residents have probably seen it on the news already the night prior.…
