Why your cell phone will get an emergency alert on October 4, 2023
Story by Miguel Ortiz

Your phone can receive emergency alerts to warn you of kidnapped children or severe weather. As long as your phone is on, regardless of if you have it silenced, it will go off with a loud tone guaranteed to get your attention. These alerts are localized and broadcast to certain areas based on relevance. However, an upcoming emergency test will affect everyone in the country.
On August 3, 2023, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System and the Wireless Emergency Alerts. The test will take place on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20PM ET. In coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, FEMA will broadcast the alerts to all radios, televisions and consumer cell phones.

Article continued: The October 4 test will ensure that the EAS and WEA systems remain effective options to earn the American public about emergencies, especially on a national level. Such a mass alert needs to be validated to ensure its viability. This is the third nationwide WEA test, but only the second to test all cellular devices. The EAS test has been performed nationwide six times before.

They’ve known for a long time what this technology is going to do….especially to children. It is a good thing to consider wearing protective eyewear when using any type of digital device now - and ESPECIALLY for children who are using these devices. Do not rely on manufacturer updates to protect yourself.
