Please be advised: the Federal Emergency Management Service will be conducting a test of the Emergency Alert Service and will trigger your smart phone's emergency alert function at approximately at 2:20 pm on Wednesday, Oct. 4th, 2023.

From FEMA: Beginning at approximately 2:20 p.m., cell towers will broadcast the signal for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, WEA-compatible wireless 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. To help ensure that these alerts are accessible to the entire public, including people with disabilities, the alerts are accompanied by a unique tone and vibration.
