I have emergency alerts turned off on my phone, the obnoxious sounds are irritating enough on my parents' phones. However, the one alert Cricket doesn't let my phone turn off is the presidential alert, which it looks like this is.

I will just turn off my phone completely in the 2PM hour tomorrow, then.
