Residents of Washington, D.C., and 19 other nearby metropolitan jurisdictions will receive test text notifications next week as part of an automatic National Wireless Emergency Alerts System test.
The system allows government officials to send emergency alerts to specific geographic areas on cellphones or other mobile devices.
People in the 20 participating jurisdictions will receive the following message on Thursday, April 5: “A test of the District of Columbia Wireless Emergency Alerts System. No action required.” The alert is expected to be accompanied by a loud noise as it displays the message.

People in the 20 participating jurisdictions will receive the following message on Thursday, April 5: “A test of the District of Columbia Wireless Emergency Alerts System. No action required.” The alert is expected to be accompanied by a loud noise as it displays the message.
Local officials told the Washington Examiner that residents of Northern Virginia, D.C., and Maryland should not be surprised if they receive multiple alerts from nearby areas. For example, someone in the city of Alexandria, Va., could receive another alert from a nearby jurisdiction.
Since 2012 when the system was first implemented, the system has been used 33,000 times to inform the public about weather, missing children, or other critical situations, according to the Federal Communications Commission.
However, local officials say this is the first time a live regional test using the system’s geo-target capabilities has been conducted, and 5.2 million people are expected to receive the test next week.

..... Every time I hear of one of these "Tests" ..... I think of an opportune time to pull something off. Unfortunately ..... This stuff seems to happen way to often for my taste. For example ... I recall first responders to the shooting in Las Vegas mentioning that they luckily they had just had an active shooter drill that same week of the shooting.
... Is this always just a Coincidence?
Yeah, coincidences too often.
Maybe you and household family could take a day off work, stock up on some extra groceries, fill the car up, get batteries for a radio and flashlight, water, etc..have your firearm at hand that day. If nothing happens, consider it a prep test.
If things get locked down, you’ll be glad you’re home with some things to tide you over.
Q storm!
The Florida shooting was also during an active shooter drill.
Not sure about Sandy Hook.
I would advise any FReepers in the area to be on high alert on April 5.
your’e screwed if you don’t have a smart phone
They’ll put some stooge in charge of the alarm button, like in Hawaii.
Not necessarily so. I get Amber and Weather alerts on my Verizon flip phone. I've been awakened by them...
I expect the same service re Federal EWS tests & alerts.
We should have gotten this the day Obama was nominated for the presidency!
A little too late now.
If the warning says “Incoming”, just kiss your ass goodby.
That was the one word I did not want to hear in Vietnam, and fortunately, didn’t. It was all outgoing.
This issue is discussed in depth here:

(Freepers may not like this book or its author, but I promise you that the sections about false flags and drills are fascinating and well worth your time—and the best writing on this topic I have seen.)
I am hoping that the test is to see how well the president can reach us while going around the MSM for an emergency announcement.
Remembering a reference to the emergency contact system in one of Q’s drops, but I don’t remember what term he used to refer to it. It was around the same time that the president had a rally, which Q had told us to watch, in which he brought up running against Oprah. In the speech the president said that he would love to run against Oprah because “I know her weakness”.
Someone’s comments here after the speech led me to believe that there was some attempt by the MSM to cut the feed right around the time that he said that about Oprah. But apparently the good guys were able to override the attempt.
I am thinking that, following this speech, Q indicated that the system had worked.
Does any of this sound familiar to you, or did I just make some conclusions of my own erroneously?

Not sure about the specifics, but the gist of what you posted sounds about right.

My fellow Americans, over the course of the next several days you will undoubtedly realize that we are taking back our great country (the land of the free) from the evil tyrants that wish to do us harm and destroy the last remaining refuge of shining light. On POTUS’ order, we have initiated certain fail-safes that shall safeguard the public from the primary fallout which is slated to occur 11.3 upon the arrest announcement of Mr. Podesta (actionable 11.4). Confirmation (to the public) of what is occurring will then be revealed and will not be openly accepted. Public riots are being organized in serious numbers in an effort to prevent the arrest and capture of more senior public officials. On POTUS’ order, a state of temporary military control will be actioned and special ops carried out. False leaks have been made to retain several within the confines of the United States to prevent extradition and special operator necessity. Rest assured, the safety and well-being of every man, woman, and child of this country is being exhausted in full. However, the atmosphere within the country will unfortunately be divided as so many have fallen for the corrupt and evil narrative that has long been broadcast. We will be initiating the Emergency Broadcast System (EMS) during this time in an effort to provide a direct message (avoiding the fake news) to all citizens. Organizations and/or people that wish to do us harm during this time will be met with swift fury – certain laws have been pre-lifted to provide our great military the necessary authority to handle and conduct these operations (at home and abroad).
