Trump activated the Presidential Emergency Alert System (PEAS) on all mobiles years back. If you look at your phone, you can see this is a feature that cannot be turned off. This will be where we get the message from, at a minimum.
Hmmm. I just had to look in my phone and it now says National Alert. It must have changed during one of their forced updates they push through every so often.
I went into "settings" and searched, "emergency" and "Wireless Emergency Alerts" came up with a bunch of options show. One is an alert for "Extreme threats"; extreme threats to life and property. Seems like a reasonable one :)
I run Android, and the new National Alert is at the very top where the older Presidential Alert was, and it's a feature that is blacked out and cannot be turned off. If my memory serves correct, this popped up during COVID in 2020.

I searched my phone for "Presidential", "EBS", "PEAS", "Alert" and nothing came up.

Do you have Android or iOS?
