2026 Nationwide Emergency Alert System Test
Nov 17. @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
On Tuesday, November 17, around 2:20 p.m. FEMA and the Federal Communications Commission will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
The test will air on radio and TV (for about 1 minute) only and will not be sent to mobile phones. No action is needed from the public.
Federal law requires FEMA to conduct a nationwide EAS test at least once every three years. Routine tests help ensure the alert system is ready to provide timely information when it matters most.
