Radio and TV broadcast stations and cable TV systems across the Alaska will participate in an exercise aimed at testing the capabilities of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) on Wednesday.
The EAS is a national public warning system that allows the president to address the nation during a national emergency. Parts of the system may be used by state and local authorities to deliver important emergency information such as AMBER alerts and severe weather information. Many individuals countrywide have already experienced emergency alerts and tests over broadcast media generated by their state and local officials.
To learn more about the statewide test of the EAS, see FEMA’s statement.
