A Nationwide FEMA Allert Today
Hmmmmm.....
REMINDER: FEMA Alert System Will Sound Alarm and Send Emergency Alert on EVERY Cellphone, TV, and Radio on October 4th at 2:20 PM ET
By Jim Hᴏft Oct. 3, 2023
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has announced a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), as reported by The Gateway Pundit last month.
The test is scheduled for tomorrow, October 4, at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET and will involve sending test messages to all TVs, radios, and cell phones in the United States. The announcement was made through an official press release on FEMA’s website.
The national test will consist of two portions: one for WEA and another for EAS. The WEA portion will be directed to consumer cell phones, marking the third nationwide test of its kind but the second to all WEA-compatible cellular devices. The message will display in either English or Spanish, depending on the language settings of the wireless handset.
The EAS portion will be sent to radios and televisions, making it the seventh nationwide EAS test. Both tests are designed to ensure that these systems continue to be effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on a national level.
Beginning at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET, cell towers will broadcast the test for about 30 minutes. WEA-compatible wireless phones that are switched on and within range of an active cell tower should be capable of receiving the test message.
According to FEMA, the test will consist of a screeching warning tone that will contain a warning message that will read, “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
While the purpose of the test is ostensibly to ensure the systems’ effectiveness, the timing and nature of this announcement have left many Americans feeling uneasy. With the world in a state of flux—geopolitical tensions, climate crises, and public health emergencies—it’s hard not to feel a sense of impending doom.
While FEMA is conducting a nationwide emergency alert system test, Russia is also carrying out emergency drills in preparation for potential nuclear explosions.

Re: A Nationwide FEMA Allert Today
At 12:15 daily our area has a test of an emergency siren that is broadcast through out our fair city and the surrounding communities.
We've gotten used to the sound , a loud screeching sound that last about 20 seconds or so.
if it goes off any other time it signals to the community that there is a possible dangerous chemical release or other calamity going on.
As of yet it's only been used a time or two..

Re: A Nationwide FEMA Allert Today
It's supposed to last for 30 minutes... The cell phone test is first, am I going to have to listen to that annoying racket for 30 minutes?
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Pretty sure they are just sending you a message on your phone.
Good to see they are actually testing the system though.

I got the alert with some kind of printed message but it disappered before I could read it.

I didn't get the alert, because I have a Barbie phone.
