The German cell broadcast alert system which got tested today only seems to work on modern phones. Android 5.0.1 (registered to a LTE network) is too old as well as the two phones to the right (registered to GSM).
The user experience of that text desert is very much improveable. "Notification by the President" however looks quite funny.

⚠️ Don't Panic: Nationwide Alert Day on Thu Sept. 14 ⚠️
(authoritative German information below 🧵 )
The German authorities (Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe) failed to provide international information (shame on them!) so I have no choice but share some local news article that summarizes what's going on in Germany this Thursday. In short: Don't panic! 😊

As Anne says here: if you or someone you know has a hidden phone, particularly people in domestic violence situations, and you’re in the UK - *make sure to turn off the new government warning alerts* which will be tested soon. They will give away the phones location.
