THIS IS A PSA FOR THE NATIONAL WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM TEST BEING RAN ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2023 IN THE US 

THE TEST WILL BE IN THE FORM OF A TEXT MESSAGE (SIMILAR TO AN AMBER ALERT) THAT WILL COME THROUGH YOUR CELL PHONES, TVS, AND RADIOS 

THE TEST IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN AT APPROX 2.20PM EST ON WEDNESDAY OCT 4, 2023 AN THE TESTING WINDOW RUNS FOR 30 MINS

DURING WHICH YOU SHOULD ONLY RECEIVE THE MESSAGE ONCE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD ALARM AND VIBRATIONS (AGAIN LIKE AN AMBER ALERT)

THIS IS ONLY A TEST, BUT WHY AM I TELLING YOU ABOUT IT?

IF YOU, OR ANYONE YOU KNOW IS IN A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATION AND HAS A SAFE PHONE- 

IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT THEIR PHONE IS TURNED OFF AT THE TIME OF THIS TEST, OR IT WILL GO OFF WITH LOUD SOUNDS AND POSSIBLY BE DISCOVERED

NO ONE IS 100% SURE THAT THIS ALERT WILL NOT GO OFF, ONCE YOU TURN THE PHONE BACK ON

THEREFORE, IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW COULD BE IN DANGER DUE TO THIS ALERT, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE PHONE IS TURNED OFF AND HIDDEN WELL 

IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO TURN THE PHONE BACK ON WHEN YOU ARE ALONE AND AWAY FROM YOUR ABUSER, THAT WOULD BE YOUR BEST BET OF IT NOT BEING FOUND 

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND EDUCATE EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS ALERT, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE IN A DV SITUATION 

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AT SOMEONE'S HOME AND IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY 

KEEP EACH OTHER SAFE AND REMEMBER (TOMORROW) WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2023 STARTING AT 2:20PM EST THE TEST ALERT WILL BE SENT TO YOUR PHONES, TVS, AND RADIOS WITHIN A 30 MINUTE WINDOW 

STAY SAFE, SENDING LOVE AND LIGHT
