(WSVN) - Don’t be surprised if you get a weird alert on your phone Wednesday.
Federal Emergency Management Agency, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, said they will be conducting a national test of the Emergency Alert System at 2:20 p.m. ET.
The test will appear on televisions and radios, and specially configured cell phones will also receive an emergency message.
The message will read: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
Only people who have opted in to the system will receive the alert, and the message may be delivered in English or Spanish.
