Re: Huh?

I rarely listen to the radio and watch very little TV. I also have text messaging disabled on the my prepaid cell phone.

However if they posted the information on the Internet, I would probably see it.

So the emergency broadcast system needs to include the Internet now.

But you wouldn't see an emergency messege because the pop up would probably be blocked

I still have my landline....I could see the Census Bureau keeping tabs as well as the DOD

I have text messaging disabled on my cell phone, however, carriers can override it. Eg. I will still get a message or 2 from AT&T.
