First Nationwide Text Alert Test – On Wednesday, October 3, 2018 around 2:00 pm everyone’s phone will go off at the same time with a text alert.

Your phone could save a life—perhaps even your own. That’s because when you receive Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs), you’ll know about dangerous, even imminent life-threatening situations, such as tornadoes, flash floods and hurricanes and even AMBER Alerts.

Stay current on the Knoxville area and it’s weather, scores, school closings, news and Amber Alerts with these places that send text alerts to your mobile phone.
