FEMA alert
I'm sure everyone has heard that they will be conducting a FEMA broadcast/alert tomorrow nationwide. Does anyone know anything more about it? Why they are doing this? What time, etc? What are they trying to accomplish?

Better not be Covid - they want to start with mask mandates.

Re: FEMA alert
I heard it was just a test to make sure it was working, etc. I'm sure nothing more ... but then I'm sure some will make something big out of it.

I hope you're right Presh. Enough is enough already.

Re: FEMA alert
They have definitely done this before, but I don't remember them ever doing it on a National level. Or maybe I just don't remember.

Re: FEMA alert
Presh is right - it's just a test. Although in some cases the cell phone alert can be disconcerting I guess.

Re: FEMA alert
I think if you leave your TV off it won't go off, but not sure about the phones. I guess you can turn the sound down. I think it will hit computers too, so turn those down/off too. Years ago it was just on the TV's.

Re: FEMA alert
