This is your friendly reminder about the statewide test of the Emergency Alert System occurring TODAY from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Alerts will be sent through your phone (much like an Amber alert), and broadcast over the TV and radio stations. You may also hear outdoor warning sirens.
With multiple alerts possible during the statewide test, it could be mildly (or very) annoying for a short time.
But here’s the important part:
📱 Please don’t turn off emergency alerts on your phone.
These alerts are critical for:
Severe weather warnings
Public safety threats
AMBER alerts and more
When something serious happens, this is one of the fastest ways you can be reached.
So, please, hang in there during the test! It helps ensure these systems work when they are truly needed.
And just to confirm one more time…
This is only a TEST.
No action on your part is required.
Heads up, Denton County ⛈️⚠️
