So we just had a nationwide test of the emergency alert system. It said that “no action is required by the public”
My question is what is the purpose then? Who is doing something when these tests happen?

What I really don’t understand, as a non-american, is why this test is/was such a huge deal.
I’m Canadian and we get several emergency alerts a year. The system is also occasionally tested but there’s no 5 day rollout of “omg everyone turn off your secret cell phones” or all the hubub that surrounded this test.
Emergency alerts are actually just kind of common place here so I really don’t understand why this test is a big deal?
