I hope they switch it over to SMS.
As I mentioned above, it's not just that it's more intrusive - it's also very ineffective because when the alert is turned off in a panic to shut it up, people don't get a chance to read it and then it's no longer available to them later on.

I mentioned that this is an issue in the middle of the night, but I found that I do the same thing when I'm on a work call and my phone blasts the alert. I quickly turn it off so I don't interrupt the call I'm on (especially when I'm the one talking).

I can't remember the last time I was able to read the amber alert.

Save these blasts for end-of-world events (ie. tornado, nuke, Leafs winning the cup, etc.)
