FCC/FEMA: Emergency Alert System (EAS) Nationwide Test
On November 9, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time (9:00 a.m. HST) the Federal Communications Commission and FEMA will conduct the first-ever nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). An announcement will come on every TV and radio channel indicating that there is an emergency. This will only be a test and you do not need to take any action. The purpose of this test is to find out how well the EAS can alert the public about dangers to life and property in the event of an actual emergency.
