The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Communications Commission will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts on Oct. 4.
The Emergency Alert System is a nationwide public alert system designed to quickly alert Americans about a national emergency across various devices within 10 minutes. The alert will be a sequence of loud noises meant to catch your attention.
Its origins trace back to 1951 when the Control of Electromagnetic Radiation, or CONELRAD, created an alert system for radio broadcasts to warn Americans about a potential Soviet nuclear explosion.
