From 10 am to 11 am tomorrow.
“Twenty jurisdictions will be taking part in Thursday’s test in the D.C. area including Alexandria, Falls Church, Manassas, Manassas Park, Arlington County, Fairfax County, Loudoun County and Prince William County in Virginia along with Bowie, College Park, Gaithersburg, Greenbelt, Takoma Park, Rockville, Frederick County, Montgomery County and Prince George’s County in Maryland.
People with cellphones or other enabled mobile devices will receive a message that says: “A test of the Emergency Alert System. No Action required.”
The alert will trigger a loud noise and a text message that will both be repeated twice.”
Thanks!
I just warned my b/f that it was happening, he is working in DC and would not have known what was going on. Funny, he works less than a mile from the WH and I have to tell him what’s going on in DC and I am 2 states away right now. LoL
