Washington (CNN) You'll soon be getting a message on your phone from the President of the United States -- whether you are a supporter or not. It's not a political message, but an emergency test message sent from President Donald Trump as part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's system to warn the public in cases of emergency, such as dangerous weather, and missing children. A majority of cell phone users will receive an alert on Thursday, September 20, with the header "Presidential Alert" and the message, "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. This is the first time FEMA has tested its Wireless Emergency Alert system on the presidential level in hopes to work out the kinks, the agency said in a press release this week. You can expect to see the alert pop up on your phone at 2:18 p.m.
