National E.A.S. Test Today

In coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be conducting a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System and the Wireless Emergency Alert System this afternoon. That test will be conducted at 1:20 Central Daylight Time. If there should be a problem with the test, a backup date of August 25th has been set simultaneously. That nationwide test is designed to make sure the system is functioning correctly, and you will see it on your T.V. hear it on your radio and cell phone. It is only a test.
