Your phones will chirp and your favorite radio and television stations will be interrupted on Wednesday in the name of safety. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will host its nationwide test of its Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) at approximately 1:20 p.m. If you are listening to the radio or watching television, it will be similar to what you already experienced during the regular monthly EAS test with a one-minute message. For the WEA test, your phone will play a unique tone and vibrations while receiving a text-like message. The test covers extreme weather warnings, local and national emergencies, and AMBER and Blue alerts. If the test date is postponed, you will have to keep your eyes and ears open on the make-up date of October 11th.
