Have you ever noticed a unique sound and vibration coming from your cell phone? It’s an unmistakable sound, similar to the obnoxious sound that you hear from an Emergency Action Notification TV test. WEA cell phone messages provide information about extreme weather conditions, local emergencies, AMBER Alerts™, and Presidential Alerts during a national emergency.
WEAs look like a text message and show the type and time of the alert, any action you should take, and the agency issuing the alert. If you receive a WEA, follow any directions advised by the message and seek additional information from local media or authorities.
WEAs are sent by authorized government agencies only.
