Interesting. That seems to be a gigantic hole in this entire process. I do have 
my iPhone set to WiFi Calling as AT&T’s signal has trouble reaching inside our 
building very well.

FEMA also notes:

A dedicated mailbox has been created for all questions relating to the IPAWS 
National Test. Please e-mail us at fema-national-t...@fema.dhs.gov. 

I e-mailed them with my results as well. Might be worth considering sending a 
report to that address yourself if you didn’t receive it. If our friend Kim 
lobs a rocket this way for some reason, I’d kinda like to know about it before 
the sky turns orange.  :-)
