And as a parent I would be sceptical if I am safe collecting the children.

Parents will do almost anything in order to be able to be with their children again, no matter how unsafe. That’s one of the reasons this is so messed up.

Probably a very stupid question: Could Turkey’s Internet censorship (like DNS blocking) have any effect on the alert system?

Also communication: issues, blockers, requirements, expectations. Nothing works without these things and the ones you mentioned.

Critical thinking is definitely important, but I would say that the most underrated skill is communication (spoken and written).
