Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3! We’re going to send a TEST emergency alert message to your cell phone TODAY! It’s our new IPAWS - Wireless Emergency Alert. Today’s message is just a test. But in an actual emergency the info in the message you receive may save your life. #IPAWS #WEA

We will be TESTING our new Integrated Public Alert & Warning System - Wireless Emergency Alerts (#IPAWS & #WEA) system TOMORROW 3/1/18. If this were an actual emergency the information in the message may save your life. #BeInTheKnowBeSafe

We have info you need to know about! Not right now, but we will. So we will be TESTING the #IPAWS Wireless Emergency Alert (#WEA) system in Pitkin County Thursday 3/1/2018. It’s the same system used in Hawaii, but our message will be WAY less terrifying than their test message.
