FEMA and FCC will be testing both the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) at 2:20 pm ET on Wednesday 11 August.
The EAS portion of the test will be sent to radios and televisions. This will be the sixth nationwide EAS test.
The WEA 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.
Good times!
