The FCC, in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will conduct the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) at 2 PM EST (1900 UTC) Wednesday, November 9. According to FEMA, EAS participants — broadcasters, satellite and digital radio and television providers, and cable and wireline video providers — “provide a critical public service to the nation as the resilient backbone of alert and warning when all other means of communication are unavailable.”
