Step-by-Step Instructions
(1) The process for enabling Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) test alerts varies by device. For most Android devices, you can access your device’s alerting settings through one of the following options:
• Tap Apps → Emergency Alerts → Menu (three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the screen)→Settings→Alert types.
• Tap Apps→Settings→Apps & Notifications→Advanced→Wireless Emergency Alerts.
• Tap Apps→Settings→Search for “Emergency Alerts” or “Public Safety messages.”
• Tap your text messaging app→Menu (three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the screen)
→Settings→Advanced→Wireless Emergency Alerts→Menu→Settings.
(2) Turn on “State/Local Test alerts,” or a similar setting you may see, by tapping the switch to slide it to the “on” position. If the “State/Local Test alert” is turned on, the circle will be on the right-hand side of the switch. You now will get WEA test alerts on your Android phone and no further action is needed.
You are all set!
