Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA)

What are WEAs?
Wireless Emergency Alerts, or WEAs, are special safety messages sent to your cell phone during an emergency.

They warn you about things like:

• Bad storms

• Other dangers in your area

WEAs are not normal text messages. They make a loud sound and strong vibration so you notice them right away.
