I thought all emergency tests up to this point was done by FCC or emergency broadcast system?? This was done by FEMA I believe. What are they really testng for?? Anything, you have to send an emergency notification to the entire United States of America for, would have to be extraordinarily important and widescale. Keith

Any way to delete it from my phone? When the end is near, I just want to be surprised by it. Can't turn it off. Only option is to ditch the phone, turn the phone off or keep it in a faraday bag. They were actually advertising to people in bad situations that if they had a hidden phone, to be sure to have it turned off during test.

Remember years ago the black and white TV sets would get an alert from the emergency broadcast system” this is only a test “ We still do get test alerts usually during a good show at worst time possible.

Turned my phone off in advance and luckily never received it. They had announced it in advance. I'm distrustful of their true intentions.

I watch Gunsmoke and Bonanza pretty often, especially when I eat lunch. They are frequently disturbed by emergency tests. Keith
