A first-ever Nationwide EAS Test was conducted on November 9th, 2011 to assess
the readiness and effectiveness of the system as it currently exists. A test
message was sent at 2:00 PM Eastern to over 60 national primary stations across
the country.
While early indicators show most radio and television stations received and
relayed the test message, many technical issues such as audio quality and
repeated messages were observed and immediately reported. This web event will
focus on a roundtable discussion with industry leaders and experts to discuss
further EAS improvements needed across a variety of topics:
* Test Successes and Lessons Learned
* Top 5 Technical Challenges of the Test
* State and Local Field Observations and Reports
* Mitigation Strategies and Improvements
* Next Steps and the Future of Alert and Warning
