So people don’t want an alert in an emergency that could save their life or a friend or family members? Society is just complaining to much. And for those that don’t like it because trump sent it. I got news for you Obama passed the law.
I get alerts that affect me -- Amber Alerts for my area. Flood alerts for my area. Shelter in place alerts for my area. I don't mind those alerts as they are localized, immediate, and time sensitive. But a nation-wide alert? For what?
Because a localized alerts don’t deal with national alerts for example a missile attack. Those are national and sent out by the White House.
If ever used, this alert system will cause chaos. Can you imagine the car wrecks, pedestrians run over, stores pillaged. Since this will be used on a quick notice basis mayhem will rule the day. FEMA is part of DHS. Hope this works better than Puerto Rico & Separation of Families
Do you not get amber alerts on your phone?
That is local and not a crisis. Kidnaping vs nuclear attack. Hmmmmm
"This is the fourth EAS nationwide test and the first national WEA test. Previous EAS national tests were conducted in November 2011, September 2016, and September 2017 in collaboration with the FCC, broadcasters, and emergency management officials."
So this isn't the first time either.
I wonder if our grandparents all threatened to throw their tvs out of their windows for news stations broadcasting the national emergency alert?
TV air time never belonged to us.


Ridiculous... Your tv has been doing it for years... it will save thousands of lives when tornadoes hit during the night & your sound asleep & the tv is off!
I have to admit I love watching the left get triggered...


My TV has been doing this for decades - whats the difference?
Does your TV travel everywhere you go?
No and neither does my phone.
