My phone isn’t on the list! Why can’t everyone get it?
Emergency Mobile Alert does not replace other alerting systems, or the need to take action after natural warnings. About one third of phones will initially be able to receive Emergency Mobile Alert. This number is expected to rise substantially over time as people replace their phones with newer models.
