Nationwide Alert System Test 11/9

[TEN-32]

Just so you are aware...on Wednesday, November 9, 2011, FEMA, DHS and
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 family and friends so they are
aware of the test.

Below are two websites that will provide more information regarding
this test:

Well I wasn't concerned before but now I am. I have to read all that stuff so they can have a test. What happens if we fail, do they take away our radio and TV? Curious minds want to know. :smiley08:

Isn't this when some comet is supposed to come by and cause massive earthquakes, or at least say the constipators..I mean conspirators.

Comet is on it's way out the new thing is an asteroid but same thing, it won't be any closer than the moon when it passes us and if I remember right it was about 400 meters in diameter. Now the constipation crowds worry is the tsunami that will result when the government droops a plane load of nuclear weapons into the middle of the Pacific to simulate the asteroid hit so they can declare an emergency and impose martial law on us. Or as they call it, Marshall Law.

It never ends.

After the test becomes a non-event there will be new theories and they will lack as much imagination and basis in facts as all the others.
