FEMA emergency alert live: Anti-vaxxers lose minds over alert causing 'zombie apocalypse'

The Federal Emergency Management Agency will test the National Wireless Emergency Alert System at 2:20pm Eastern Time and span 30 minutes.

Millions of phones, TVs, and radios will receive alerts. FEMA has emphasized the importance of time during disasters and has urged people not to panic when they receive an alert on their phones, as it’s just a practice run.

The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System will send alerts via the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts to test the emergency alert system. This system enables the American president to address citizens within 10 minutes during a national emergency.

The message will display: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” Phones will vibrate and emit a sound, while Spanish mobile devices will receive notifications in Spanish.

False information on social media suggests that the test aims to activate nanoparticles like graphene oxide in people’s bodies. For example, a popular QAnon influencer in a Telegram channel called ‘The Patriot Voice’ posted this questions: “Is there a zombie apocalypse activated by 5G towers on the way?!?!”
