Things to know:

🔹It’s a nationwide test of the same system (Wireless Emergency Alerts, or WEA) that pushes public emergency messages like AMBER alerts.

🔹The WEA system is overseen by FEMA & the Federal Communications Commission. This is different from a text message and your phone number is not shared with anyone.

🔹Presidential Alerts are one out of the three categories of alerts set by law. These are only for national emergencies and there is a process in place to draft and send the messages.

Just a reminder - FEMA will be conducting a National Emergency Alert System test on September 20, 2018 at 2:20. This will include both Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) and the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The WEA is an alert that you will receive on your cell phone, while the EAS are alerts that you may receive on radio, TV, or your weather radio.

What? You say you do not have a weather radio?? Our advice is you take the time tonight (ok, maybe over the next few days) and hunt down a battery battery backup weather radio. This simple little radio is an an absolute MUST for understanding details of inclement weather should your power go out.

AND, if you get this alert on your phone..... AWESOME! If you do NOT get this alert on your phone please go into your phone settings and turn emergency alerts on (this setting is automatically ON when you purchase your phone).

Get a radio today-Don't delay~ ... See MoreSee Less
