I don't know if today's test is the same thing or not, but I remember in the last X years where there was a presidential test of the EAS and there was supposedly no way to disable it short of turning your device off. My understanding is that -- let's go with -- lesser priority sources can be silenced, but sufficiently high priority can't be. If the device is on, it's going to make noise.
It must be nice to live in a country that uses the priorities! Canada's Alert Ready decided that people can't be trusted and sends ALL alerts at the "national alert" priority. (When Canada last tested in May, I had my phone on silent - the alert vibrated but did not make noise - which is a slight improvement, I guess). -- Harald Koch chk () pobox com
