Broadcasters Prep for Nationwide EAS Trial

摘要

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is gearing up for its third nationwide Emergency Alert System (EAS) test, Sept. 27. (Previous tests were conducted in 2011 and 2016.) The test has been in the works for some time, falling in line with September having been officially designated "National Preparedness Month." (An earlier test was planned for late spring or early summer, but had to be scrubbed due to some key elements not being in place.)
