The National Public Alerting System(known as Alert Ready) will be announcing all life threatening emergencies on mobile phones.
Almost everyone you know owns a mobile phone or has access to a mobile device.
As of today, all life threatening emergencies will be broadcast on mobile phones as part of the National Public Alerting System (NPAS).
In the past these alerts could only be heard via broadcast channels. Now you do not have to be near a television or radio station to hear the latest announcements.
Some events that could cause an Emergency Alert would be a terrorist attack, forest fire, child abduction, etc.
On May 6th, there will be a testing of this system so do not be alarmed.
The alerts will come through with the same siren-type sound you hear on your local television station.

IMPORTANT NOTE: NOT all cell phones are going to receive these alerts. Check with your service provider and/or their website to see if your phone is compatible with the new alert system. Assume the older your phone, the less likely it will be able to receive the alerts.
