Hey, I’ve been hearing about a nationwide alert. Can anyone confirm if it’s legit or just a rumor?

yes, the nationwide alert is authentic. It was a trial conducted jointly by FEMA and the FCC on October 4, 2023, aimed at verifying the functionality of emergency systems across all devices throughout the United States. No further action was necessary.

Yes, the nationwide alert is real. The federal government conducted a test of its emergency alert system by sending messages to cellphones, TVs, and radios. FEMA confirmed that the test went well.
If it’s not from a trusted source, it’s probably best to ignore it for now.
Nationwide alerts usually come through official channels. We can always check together.

Thanks for clarifying that it was just a trial and no further action was required. Since this was in the United States in October of last year, it wouldn’t be relevant to the current situation in the country
