FEMA is working with the FCC to send out a nationwide test of the emergency alert system. The phone alert will show the text, "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. The EAS normally sends out notifications for severe weather and amber alerts, according to the FCC. It is able to broadcast messages by radio and TV, along with wireless emergency alerts that are received via text message. FEMA and the FCC testing out the emergency alert system is not out of the ordinary.
