Phase I of the march to another national test has occurred; that was bench testing of the transmission, encoding and decoding of a Common Alerting Protocol-EAS message with a National Protocol Test header at IPAWS’s Lab along the Patuxent River in southern Md.

Phase II involves sending a CAP-EAS message with an NPT event code through IPAWS OPEN in a closed test in West Virginia. FEMA IPAWS conducted such tests in Alaska before the previous national test in 2011.

Apparently, they're going to test out the test in West Virginia later this year. According to TVTechnology.com, the WV test is scheduled for Sept. 17th. There's no word on exactly when the next National test will be, but it seems they intend to make a National EAS test something they do on a regular basis.

Good luck to them. The local,monthly EAS tests rarely go off without a hitch.
