FEMA invites the public to send comments on the nationwide EAS-WEA test to
fema-national-t...@fema.dhs.gov
Valuable information on the effectiveness of a national WEA capability
using the Presidential alert category includes:
1. Whether your mobile device displayed one, more or no WEA test messages;
2. The make, model and operating system version of your mobile device;
3. Your wireless service provider;
4. Whether the device was turned on and in the same location for at least
30 minutes after the start of the test (2:18 p.m. ET);
5. The location of the device (as precise as possible), including the
device’s environment (e.g. indoors or outdoors, rural or urban, mobile or
stationary);
6. Whether you are normally able to make calls, receive texts, or use apps
at that location;
7. Whether the mobile device was in use at the time of the alert (for a
call or a data session); and
8. Whether anyone else at your location received the WEA test alert
message.
