Hey if you have a phone you need kept secret and you live in the US make sure it’s turned off on Oct 4! FEMA is doing an emergency test

Edited to add - many people in abusive situations have hidden phones for safety. That’s what I’m referring to here. Please be safe 💜

@dramypsyd I keep seeing these but every time the date comes and goes, nothing happens (I keep my phone on all the time). So this is just a chain message going around not unlike what we saw in the AOL days. Just minus the "X will happen to you if you don't forward this"

@rudie I mean I’m going off of FEMA’s official announcement for when this is happening in the US. There was a test in the UK a while back, my phone didn’t go off because I’m not there. So it’s a little different than a made up chain message, and I’m certainly not threatening anyone who chooses not to boost.
