I asked him if he could send me a picture of it and he said it wasn’t on his phone anymore. I asked him if it said National Emergency or if it said Execute Action and he said yes that’s what it said. Then he apologized because he said he had a low blood sugar level at the time. That he thought t said Executive Action before it flashed from his screen and in his state, he panicked a bit and called me. So, I apologize for stirring things up a bit. I am curious though how those words came out instead of the description. Do the cell companies have to report bad alerts like we now have to for EAS? I have looked at Part 10 in a while.
Thanks and sorry again

I don’t see any “national emergency” messages at PBS WARN. I do see this Amber Alert that the state sent out horribly wrong.
Can you share a pic or the exact wording of the National Emergency?
AMBER Alert in this area until Nov 12 3:42PM EST. Execute Action. Message from OEMA

So my brother lives south of Cleveland. He called in a bit of a panic yesterday morning asking me if something major was going on and I said not that I know of why? He said he got an Amber alert on his phone but it said something like National Emergency. While I was on the phone with him he got another Amber alert that was correct. Someone made a huge error but I'm wondering how the sender even had access to send a message like that out. Does someone have more access than they should? Why would a state message say National Emergency?
Have a good weekend
