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

We've added more topics for discussion on A National Dialogue on the
Emergency Alert System
