This afternoon (10/5) at 2:20 p.m., FEMA (and the FCC) will conduct a national test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS). This alert will cause cell phones to receive a National Alert (with a loud tone) during this time. The Alert will still come through even if a person's cell phone is set to silent. Because the test is taking place at approximately 2:20 p.m. (during the school day), I wanted you to be aware. The test will be transmitted for 30 minutes, but you will only receive the alert once. If, for some reason, the test does not occur today(as scheduled), the backup testing date is October 11th. For more information, you can read the FEMA article below.
