GP: 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. more
blow me, assholes
Phone, radio, every electronic device I own will be turned off from 2:15 – 2:30
something nefarious this
way comes
Yeah, my wireless handset will be off the hook.
You know if the Gubmint is involved they’re up to no good! I wouldn’t even try to guess why, but I DON’T TRUST THE GUBMINT!
I stole this
” It’s going to activate the Marburg virus Pfizer et al put in the nanoparticles in the vaccine and turn everyone into zombies.”
As long as it opens all the doors in Congress, I’m fine with it.
I understand the need to periodically test emergency systems and this makes sense.
However at this time I have very little faith or trust the the government so I will be running a test of my own by placing my phone in a Faraday bag this afternoon.
Let me know how it works out, I’m shutting off my phone at 1400……
The alarm is FEMA itself. All the ‘conspiracies’ have been proven right.
Check your brass in case of the zombie thingy….
Getting ready for next election
you will be instructed which fema camp to report to
Let’s hope that there aren’t a lot of dumbass ignorant people out there who don’t have a clue or pay attention think that this is a real national emergency. There are enough ignoids out there who just might panic like they did when Orson Welles broadcast The War of the worlds back on Halloween 1939 and a lot of frightened people listening thought that it was real. Relax, it’s not like the Vogon constructor fleet is going to show up unannounced and destroy the Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass today. I’m turning my phone off temporarily this morning at 11 AM Pacific time and leaving the radio and TV off and everything will be fine as usual.
TV….
iPhone….
all electronics….OFF
Safe….OPEN.
My understanding is that the alarms will function whether you have them off or not.
It’s scary enough that the Alphabets can invade every device you own, but they can backdoor activate it also.
Have you noticed how you can no longer take the battery out of all models if cell phones in the last few years?
Everything will be OFF.
Besides, if the Vogons do show up, well there isn’t much we can do about it. Have a drink, go for a walk… it’s all over.

I think if your ringer is off it will still make a noise, but it shouldn’t if your phone is turned off. Mainly because I don’t think that would be possible.
If your phone is turned off, the alarm may go off when you turn it back on.
I have my iPhone set where any calls not on my call list go directly to voicemail without ringing.
I go back and block virtually all of them. Almost none of them leave a voicemail.
@Anonymous – on my Android the texts still go through, a lot more these days. I block them too.
I hope they don’t ask if I’m interested in selling the property!
Damned alert just came over my phone and I couldn’t understand a word of what was said or written because it was in SPANISH!!!!!
Good gawd you people, it’s just a phucking test. My weather radio & TV does it every Wednesday. It just happened & nothing blew up. Jeeezzz.
All I got was that my car warranty has expired and I can still sign up for Medicare advantage…..
Dave, it worked
Boring.
Like one of those amber alerts.
My balls suddenly itched, but I scratched and readjusted their position a smidge and all seemed to be ok.
The system is weather-sensitive? What the boinkity-boink? What if the big emergency was a giga-hurricane or the biggest tsunami in history on its way after Antarctica explodes?
Uncle Al, it’s called the Uvalde Texas Emergency Response System…
@Loco — OOH, That’s nasty! And totally deserved and appropriate.
Well MY phone was on all day and i didn’t get no steenking alert!
FJB
DID NOT HAPPEN HERE! many phones – cell and “land line”- many computers; 2 adults. Nothing! Wife asked why? I said “I know nothing”>
forgot all about it … got my message @ 2:20 PM …. very loud “Annnt, Annnt, Annnt” sound w/ a quick message that left because of all my Ring cameras went off about 5 seconds after the message popped up …. “veddie interesting”
the message did say something about Emergency Broadcast System & report to the nearest train station …. & bring your shovel

Zip zero nada here in Vegas…
