Emergency alert system to be tested October 4 on all phones, radio, and TVs in the U.S. #shorts

The federal government will conduct a nationwide alert test on Wednesday, October 4. Notifications will be sent to cell phones, radios and TVs to ensure the system (including the public’s familiarity with it) is ready for a real crisis.

When it went off in class everyone just laughed and said it was underwhelming

[CoiledMTG]

Some people said it would turn people into zombies. I cant tell if theyre trolling or just far right idiots x3

[its.isbl]

It happened and it sounded like a NORMAL AMBER ALERT !! Wasn't even loud !

[dutchtreat]

If you got a secret phone turn it off Wednesday -airplane mode won’t stop the alert from happening. She gonna find out you’re cheating if you think that’ll save you

[landynkorb]

What if someone is being kidnapped and their only chance at survival goes off in the trunk of the person car 💀💀💀💀💀

30min.? 🤔That's odd. Everywhere I've been reading about it, claims it'll be only 1 minute long.

It went off while we were taking a test. I watched a video where it basically overdramatized it saying that it will be the loudest sound ever and would be heard from countries next to us. People that day were telling everyone to wrap their phone in tin foil.

To make sure the alert works???

I got it, that sound was quite unnerving and attention grabbing.

[izalith]

Ah gotta shut of my phone i sleep round that time.

[Gawnkycorn]

At my school it was like 11 o’clock when it started

[reese]

My phone was powered off so it didn’t go off

[vancechambers]

Don't trust it... theres something weird going on... please if you took the jab unplug all tvs and radios and put your phone outside... better safe then sorry

[Hffmans_Girl]

Yeah we shut off all of our devices and unplugged our tvs

Okay so, I was at lunch (In Arizona, it happened at 11:18 am) and everyone gathered up their phones just to hear it, but it didn’t even make an actual alarm sound-

[scottdorsey]

There was no mention of the benefits of the alert, so it's very suspect.

[MsBaddieSlay]

Oh wow it’s just a fire alarm on my phone :D

[vennessa]

I was at school and my teacher's phone went off and i had headphones in so i barely even heard it

[MELSDOGMOCHII]

when it went off for me, it lasted around 2-9 seconds not 30 minutes.
