The @WatSAFE app has provided no alerts about today's stabbing incident at Hagey Hall. (On the very day that the app's alert system was tested!) That doesn't help people stay safe. Please review and fix this for future emergencies @UWaterloo #UWaterloo
The WatSAFE app's first alert about the @UWaterloo #uwaterloo stabbing incident - about 90 minutes after I saw SWAT police run by me on campus.
