Hi All,
This was sent to us today so that we would be aware of what's going on next
Wednesday. Thought you might be interested. Now might be the time to locate the
closest cave so you can flee to it...in case of emergency, that is. Just
remember, THIS IS ONLY A TEST. IF A REAL EMERGENCY WERE OCCURRING...

Subject: Pls READ: Nationwide Emergency Alert System Test: November 9
On Wednesday, November 9, 2011, FEMA, DHS and FCC will conduct the
first ever National test of the Nationwide Emergency Alert System
(EAS). This Nationwide test will kick off at 1:00 pm (CST) and run
concurrently across all time zones.
This system test is the first of its kind designed to broadcast a
nationwide message to the American public. In the history of the
country, nothing like it has been conducted on such a level. There
have been tests in the past, but not of this magnitude encompassing
all regions of the Nation simultaneously. The three (3) minute test
will run simultaneously on all radio and TV band stations exceeding
the previous messages broadcast which were anywhere from a 30 second
to 1 minute message.
There is concern in local police and emergency management circles
about undue public anxiety over this test. The test message on TV
might not indicate that it is just a test. The fear is that the
lack of an explanation regarding the message might create panic.
Please share this information with your family and friends so they
are aware of the test
Below are a few websites that will provide more information
regarding this test:
