On Wednesday, November 9 at 2 p.m. (Eastern), FEMA and the FCC will conduct the nation's first ever Emergency Alert System (EAS) test. The purpose of this test is to help determine if the national-level system will work as designed, should officials ever need to send a national alert. This test will last 3 minutes and will be seen on all local, cable, and satellite TV stations across the country, as well as radio.
