Alaska Tests Nation's Emergency Alert System

NPR  

Alaska Tests Nation's Emergency Alert System Alaska radio and television were blanketed at 10 a.m. Wednesday with the nation's first test of the Emergency Action Notification system, designed to alert citizens across the country in case of a national emergency. On January 6th at approximately 10 a.m., Alaska will participate in the first ever test of the EAN system that can alert the entire nation in the event of an emergency. Mr. ZIDEK: We've got a pretty well-oiled machine, and I think that's why the federal government chose Alaska as a test bed for this national test of the emergency alert system. The message you are hearing is part of a live code test of national emergency alert system capabilities limited to the state of Alaska only.
