FEMA/DHS have delayed the planned Wireless Emergency Alert test. It is now scheduled for October 3, 2018 at 1:18 PM CDT.

Again, the scheduled test for this Thursday (September 20) has been postponed until Wednesday, October 3, 2018 at 1:18 PM CDT.  There will not be cell phone interruptions in your facilities this week.

Remember, this will be Presidential Alert which everyone will receive and it can not be “turned off”.
