WASHINGTON—The Trump administration will send a test message to all U.S. cellphones on Sept. 20, for a new alert system that aims to warn the public about national emergencies.

The messages will bear the headline “Presidential Alert,” the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which will send the message, said in a statement earlier this week.
