Makes me wonder what I have to do to opt out of this. We all remember what happened in Hawaii.
For the national alert you can't. That's intentional.
Although for some reason my silenced phone made no noise. I got the alert, it popped up on the screen, but no noise.
If you don't want any interruptions, you can set your phone to "Airplane Mode." Airplane Mode disables reception of all Wireless Emergency Alerts for as long as the phone stays in Airplane Mode.
And it's even possible, on most phones I have used, to turn Airplane mode on, and then *turn wifi back on* -- that would get you most functionality, while still precluding WEA/CMAS alerts. I think I've got that right, don't I, Sean? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
