Your iPhone is about to receive emergency alert from FEMA today, and you can’t opt out
As you’ve probably heard by now, FEMA and the FCC are conducting a nationwide test of the Public Alert and Warning System in the United States today, October 4. This means that your iPhone will sound off with an emergency alert at around 2:20 p.m. ET/11:20 a.m. PT.
FEMA is required to conduct these national tests of the Public Alert and Warning System at least once every three years. The last national test was conducted back in 2021.
