Is it a good thing or a bad thing that my initial reaction to this was to laugh?
I hope they started the broadcasts with FEAR! FIRE! FOES! AWAKE! AWAKE!

Why Tolkien?
Does that mean that many people have not read his books? Because if people have, then they'd find some pattern in the alarms, and figure out that something is not right. On the other hand, there's Tolkien on the news!

I think the exact opposite, the point is that people will notice it and that way they could check whether the system works in delivering the message to people or not.

It would be interesting to find out the results of the test.

The result is that alpine holidays in the White Mountains are set to decline.

Why this is wonderful. Why can't they do this test everywhere?
Fear! Fire! Foes! Awake! Indeed.
