The Trump administration will send a message to all US mobile phones on Thursday, as it tests an unused alert system that warns the public about national emergencies.
Phones will make a loud tone and have a special vibration according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which will send the alert.
The test message will be headlined “Presidential Alert” and will go on to read “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
US mobile phone users will not be able to opt out of the test.
As for me, I’m hoping for it will look like this:
THE STORM HAS BEGUN. THE SWAMP IS BEING DRAINED. HILLARY CLINTON HAS BEEN ARRESTED. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Or something to that effect. That would be good.
