Subject: Pls READ: Nationwide Emergency Alert System Test: November 9
>
>On Wednesday, November 9, 2011, FEMA, DHS and FCC will conduct the first ever
>National test of the Nationwide Emergency Alert System (EAS). This Nationwide
>test will kick off at 1:00 pm (CST) 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. 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 simultaneously on all radio and TV band
>stations exceeding the previous messages broadcast which were anywhere from a
>30 second to 1 minute message.
>
>There is concern in local police and emergency management circles about undue
>public anxiety over this test. The test message on TV might not indicate that
>it is just a test. The fear is that the lack of an explanation regarding the
>message might create panic.
>
>Please share this information with your family and friends so they are aware
>of the test
>
>Below are a few websites that will provide more information regarding this
>test:
