  National Emergency Alert - TEST - Nov 9th at 2pm
****

Just so you are aware...on Wednesday, November 9, 2011, FEMA, DHS and FCC
will conduct the first national test of the Nationwide Emergency Alert
System (EAS) test. This nationwide test will kick off at 2:00 p.m (EST) and
run concurrently across all time zones.

This system test is the first of its kind designed to broadcast a
nationwide message to the American public. In the history of the country,
nothing like it has been conducted on such a level.

As you may be aware, there have been tests in the past, but not of this
magnitude encompassing all regions of the nation simultaneously. The three
(3) minute test will run concurrently on all radio and TV band stations
exceeding the previous messages broadcast which were anywhere from a 30
second to 1 minute message.
