Twenty jurisdictions, including Fairfax County, will simultaneously issue a test message to the public through the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) system on Thursday, April 5, between 10-11 a.m.
WEA triggers a loud noise and a text message on cellphones and enabled mobile devices. This special WEA tone and vibration will both be repeated twice.
