Thx,. Sounds like a surge protector.

If you don't have a faraday bag/cage, you also can 'power off' your phone and wrap it in aluminum foil.

yes in the US...but it is not just in the US


Australia also has had an emergency alert system for several years - and it saves lives. It's generally used to trigger public action (like preparing for evacuation) in bushfires or flooding events or cyclones. It's sometimes used to warn of extreme heat and it can also be used to seek public help for missing persons or advise of dangerous criminals on the run.

During Australia's infamous 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires the alert system was used to send out millions of mobile text and landline voice alerts. In the event of a general emergency the ABC (public broadcaster) provides a continuous 24 hour update on fire/flood conditions and related warnings.

It was last used a couple of days ago to cover several days of serious fires in Victoria and may be needed to cover imminent flooding - in the same places!

The Australian bushfire season has already started and we're not yet halfway through Spring.

Anyone who puts emergency alert systems in the Conspiracy Theory basket needs to visit Australia during a typical fire season.

They're too spoiled now. No more.
How are they to spoiled. When students have debt . They can't further their education. I've known a few people. So, they were stranded. Wouldn't a better idea, to make at the poor had better education all around.

Don't you know, only the rich and well connected should be educated. How else would the proper order be maintained.
Peasants, gettin' all uppity.. the horrors.

It only works if you wrap your head in aluminum foil also.

It was a test. Very much like the old EBS tests of old on the radio and TV.
It seems like we've got a bunch of people who are too young or don't have very good memories, because I remember EBS tests from the media growing up.

Shouldn't they put those in the Conspiracy Theory faraday cage? :p

I guess my Covid vax didn't take yet again. I've had all of the schedule boosters and haven't mutated into Jason Mamoa much to my wife's disappointment.
