Original Note:
The EBS does not currently exist; it has been replaced by the Emergency Alert System (EAS) https://www.fcc.gov/emergency-alert-system While it is true that wireless alerts transmit over cellular networks, the claim that the test will transmit a virus or activate special code is false. https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_ipaws-2023_national-periodic-test-faqs.pdf
