[RP TownTalk] Stay Alert: Nationwide Emergency Test on October 3

[Jessica Barnes]

Cell towers will broadcast the WEA test for approximately 30 minutes beginning at 2:18 p.m. EDT on Oct. 3rd. During this time, WEA compatible cell phones that are switched on, within range of an active cell tower, and whose wireless provider participates in WEA should be capable of receiving the test message. Some cell phones will not receive the test message, and cell phones should only receive the message once. The WEA test message will have a header that reads: "Presidential Alert" and text that says:
“THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
