WASHINGTON – FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) this summer.
The national test will consist of two portions, testing WEA and EAS capabilities. Both tests will begin at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Aug. 11.
The Wireless Emergency Alert portion of the test will be directed only to consumer cell phones where the subscriber has opted-in to receive test messages. This will be the second nationwide WEA test, but the first nationwide WEA test on a consumer opt-in basis. The test message will display in either English or in Spanish, depending on the language settings of the wireless handset.
The Emergency Alert System portion of the test will be sent to radios and televisions. This will be the sixth nationwide EAS test.

FEMA 和 FCC 計劃在 8 月 11 日進行全國緊急警報測試測試消息將發送到電視和收音機以及選擇接收測試消息的部分手機
華盛頓——今年夏天，FEMA 將與聯邦通信委員會【FCC】協調，在全國範圍內對緊急警報系統 (EAS) 和無線緊急警報 (WEA) 進行測試。
國家測試將包括兩部分，測試 WEA 和 EAS 的能力。兩項測試都將在8 月 11 日星期三東部時間下午 2:20 開始。
測試的無線緊急警報部分將僅針對訂戶已選擇接收測試消息的消費者手機。這將是第二次全國範圍的 WEA 測試，但卻是第一次在消費者選擇的基礎上進行全國範圍的 WEA 測試。測試消息將以英語或西班牙語顯示，具體取決於無線手機的語言設置。
測試的緊急警報系統部分將發送到廣播和電視。這將是第6次全國性的EAS測試。
