National EAS test to be conducted Tuesday

On Tuesday, November 17 at around 1:20 p.m., FEMA and the Federal Communications Commission will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System. 

The test will air on radio and TV only and will not be sent to mobile phones. No action is needed from the public. 

The test will last approximately one minute. When the test has concluded, normal programming will resume.

Federal law requires FEMA to conduct a nationwide EAS test at least once every three years. Routine tests help ensure the alert system is ready to provide timely information when it matters most.
