Wireless Emergency Alert

In the case of any storm considered to be severe enough to be "destructive" in nature, a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) will be sent out to residents' smartphones in the vicinity of such a storm system.

Just in case you missed it, The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has put off the "Presidential Alert" test sent to American smartphones and wireless devices

This Thursday, if your cellphone buzzes loudly and a message comes on the screen reading "Presidential Alert", don't be alarmed. This is a Nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System.
