FEMA Emergency Alert Test Today

I just found out that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will conduct a routine Emergency Alert Test around 2:20 p.m. ET today.

According to FEMA, “The purpose of the test is to ensure that the systems continue to be effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level.”

You can ignore the misinformation on social media about conspiracy theories regarding the test.
