FEMA and FCC Plan Nationwide Emergency Alert Test for Aug. 11 Test Messages Will be Sent to TVs and Radios Along with Select Cell Phones That Have Opted-in to Receive Test Messages
Federal Emergency Management Agency ^ | 6/11/21 | fema

WASHINGTON – FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) this summer.

The national test will consist of two portions, testing WEA and EAS capabilities. Both tests will begin at 2:20 p.m. ET on Thursday, Aug. 11.

The Wireless Emergency Alert portion of the test will be directed only to consumer cell phones where the subscriber has opted-in to receive test messages. This will be the second nationwide WEA test, but the first nationwide WEA test on a consumer opt-in basis. The test message will display in either English or in Spanish, depending on the language settings of the wireless handset.

The Emergency Alert System portion of the test will be sent to radios and televisions. This will be the sixth nationwide EAS test.

FEMA and the FCC are coordinating with EAS participants, wireless providers, emergency managers and other stakeholders in preparation for this national test to minimize confusion and to maximize the public safety value of the test. The test is intended to ensure public safety officials have the methods and systems that will deliver urgent alerts and warnings to the public in times of an emergency or disaster.

I don’t have a cell phone...no service area.
I never answer the landline unless I deem it important.
I don’t watch TV.
I’m likely to be in the garden or canning.
I think I return to work (school) a few days after, unless they make me take the jab...then I will retire.
So, big deal!

Garland’s contention that blacks have to wait in line longer that whites to vote is pure, unadulterated hogwash.

They get in line and they wait just as long as the person in front of them and behind them.

The next “drill” will be a cyberattack scenario, so expect the innerwebz to get shut down.

And when it is nothing more than what it is, a scheduled test of the Emergency Alert System and not the STORM, a military takeover to reinstall Trump, what will you do then? I think I know. You Q’s will just make something up and move the goal posts further down the road.
