Electronic Device Alert

Electronic Device Alert

FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), which means your cell phone or other electronic device such as a TV or radio will sound an alert. The national test will consist of two portions, testing WEA and EAS capabilities. Both tests are scheduled to begin at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4th. This is only a test and will last briefly.
