must be nice living in a world where there is no domestic violence, and women hide cell phones from their abusive husband, wife, or significant other, which may be uncovered should they start beeping and are found during this FEMA test

Here I thought they meant women in domestic abuse situations who are still trying to get out. Like discussed here.

I assumed they meant kids hiding stuff from their parents but yours makes more sense.
