Reminder that FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm Eastern Time.

If you live in the US and have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure it is turned off during this time, and *Do Not Turn It On Again Until You Are Alone And Safe* because the alert will come through as soon as that phone is powered on.

Repeat: FEMA alert, October 4th, turn off in advance any phones you don’t want making noise. And remember that the Alert Will Come Through As Soon As The Relevant Phone Is Powered Back On.

Muting this now as it's destroying my mentions.

I would add to this and say not to turn the phone back on until you are 100% alone.

Some phones or some carriers will have the phone go off again once it's back on. This has at least been a problem reported from some on the Internet.

@Wolven good to know, thank you
