FEMA Testing Alert System This Afternoon; Your Phone Will Likely Alarm
August 11, 2021
FEMA will conduct a nation test of the Emergency Alert System at about 1:20 p.m. local time.
The test will alert most smartphones, much like severe weather and child abduction alerts, if the user has opted in to receive test message.
The test will also go to televisions and radios.

No texts or notifications on any of our 4 lines with Verizon.
None on our phones. Only heard it on the radio in my car.
No message/alarm/alert on any of our phones.
No message received today.
The last time this occurred, I never received a text on my phone which is Verizon Wireless. Hmm.
