NEW YORK, (CBSNewYork) – A new national alert system is set to begin in New York City that will alert the public to emergencies via cell phones.

Presidential and local emergency messages as well as Amber Alerts would appear on cell phones equipped with special chips and software.

The Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency said the system would also warn about terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

Verizon and AT&T, the nation’s largest cell phone carriers, are already on board. Consumers would be able to opt out of all but those presidential messages.

I'm all a-tingle with gleeful anticipation but I doubt my cheap Tracfone has the necessary "special chips". I do have some Doritos.
It doesn't work till I'm in town anyway.:rolleyes:

Ideal way to control the populace would be to cut off the internet, hard line telephone and all radio and television broadcasting and mandate via martial law by cell phone...:munchin
