Beverly Johnson uses an Alameda-wide emergency phone system, possibly illegally, to call nearly everyone on the Island and shill for SunCal.

But in a REAL emergency, with asbestos-laden debris raining down on WestEnders, the Alameda Fire Department elected not to use the City's telephone notification system to warn residents of health concerns, because it's "too old and slow".

Nice to know that our emergency phone system is good only for self-serving political calls.
