Easy peasy: TURN YOUR PHONE OFF.
That's what I do.

Cell phones are never off unless you disconnect the internal battery or its dead dead

To: sonova
My new phone has that feature turned off. Can it be over-ridden? Probably.

“Duck and Cover”
Or as we used to say about the nuclear bomb drills in school “Duck and cover, then put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye”

, 640 and 1240 on AM dial. The radio station you listened to said tune to either of those and then went off the air.

Pfft. I’m usually in my water aerobics class at 11:15 Pacific time. Wonder if they’ll make us all get out dripping wet - there will be a bunch of ticked-off ladies of a certain age!
To: Roman_War_Criminal
Could be interesting.
Are they planning something we don’t know about that will happen concurrently with the *test*, and nobody will respond because they think it’s a test?
I don’t trust our government AT ALL.

Is this going to be like the Lahaina alert system? It works great until you actually need it?
To: nuconvert
I will make sure my cellphone is switched off along with all my radios and tvs.

It’s the fact that everything we do is monitored...Yeah, I get that. That isn't the point here. This is the idea that you getting a text msg from .gov and equating that to them 'taking control' of your phone. Let's say we have 300 million phones, is .gov taking control of 300 million phones because your number is on a distribution list? It's all over reach but (in my best biden mumble) c'mon man.

Yet, for the people of Lahaina, Hawaii, officials decided not to sound the alarm.
