Heads up- Read below and check it out so that there in no over-reaction…
NATIONWIDE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM (EAS) TEST
On Wednesday, November 9, 2011, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct the first national test of the Nationwide Emergency Alert System (EAS) test. This nationwide test will kick off at 2:00 p.m. (EST) 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. As you may be aware, 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 concurrently 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 GREAT 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. FEAR IS THAT THE LACK OF AN EXPLANATION REGARDING THE MESSAGE MIGHT CREATE PANIC. PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOUR FAMILIES SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THE TEST.
Below is FEMAs website that will provide more information regarding this test:
Can you say “ECOMCON”?
Thanks NFO for the heads up.
Wonder why this is necessary. FEMA doing it because they can?
Is this when the One declares martial law?
Is this when my neighborhood group sets the claymores and positions the snipers?
Skip, only if what Ed says happens!
Thanks for the heads up. I never would have known about this otherwise.
It could start a ‘War of the Worlds’ panic if done incorrectly. This is the first I’d heard of it.
Drjim- Possibly…
SS-You’re welcome
WSF/Ed/Skip- ALL good questions…
Andy- No problem
MC- Very much so…
Kinda makes you wonder what the numbnuts inside the Beltway’s Halls of Power know that we pissant worker bees don’t?
–AOA
Doing this on the same day a comet, the size of an aircraft carrier, is supposed to come close to the Earth is enough to start most people thinking.
This should be interesting.
I’ll bet there will be a lot of WTF out there for those uninformed people.
Interesting – I’ve already had a couple e-mail “heads up” on this from others and just assumed everybody knew about it. Apparently not. I just hope they don’t do Orson Wells proud…
Hmm. Scheduled one year prior to the Day after the next Presidential Election. Not saying it’s a Conspiracy, but my Tin Foil Hat Friends are saying it’s just a Dry Run, then they’ll do their AAR, then go into Fix and Tweak Mode, then they’ll be set to Declare Martial Law next year after the Election Results come in, and the Anointed One gets Lamed Ducked. Meanwhile, those Predator Drones circling over Major Metropolitan Areas….
I probably won’t hear it over the Drum Circle from the Occupiers anyway ; )
Let’s not forget to add in the George Soros backed Wall Street Morons into the equation.
Rile them up some more, get a few more people injured/raped/robbed and now we have a national emergency that needs to be handled since the local departments can’t (they will point at NY and Oakland to prove the point).
AOA- Yep, kinda scary…
Mmasse- One can only wonder.
ADM/PH- Concur, gonna be interesting!
Les- Who knows???
Instinct- Good point! Per the news tonight, Oakland is $2M in the hole, just in LEO costs…
What a dud that turned out to be. Sort of metaphor for the entire Obama Administration.
