BUtterfield 8 41,838 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Americans will receive a text message this week as part of a Wireless Emergency Alert System test, after pushback and Hurricane Florence delayed the initial distribution of the national message. The test has been scheduled to ensure that the alert system would work in the event of a national emergency, and US cellphone users will not be able to opt out. The message will read: "This is a test of the National Wireless emergency Alert System. No action is needed." The test message was originally scheduled for last month but was pushed back to 3 October because of response efforts to Hurricane Florence, FEMA said. Meanwhile, legal experts have said the system may not be legal if Donald Trump used it to send personal messages, while other analysts argued it may not even be necessary to alert the public about major national events or natural disasters. In its statement last week on the test messages, FEMA said the presidential alerts can be used only for national emergencies and the president has sole responsibility for determining when such alerts are used. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/text-alert-president-donald-trump-emergency-message-phones-when-what-a8564151.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,909 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 It's just the emergency presidential alert system. It'll just be a message saying that it's a drill. AFAIK he couldn't use it unless there was a national emergency, so he won't stop tweeting anytime soon. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
