- Nationwide Emergency Alert System Test Set for November
There will be a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System this November. FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, will conduct a nationwide EAS test on Nov. 17. The FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau made the announcement on Wednesday. All EAS participants — which includes nearly all licensed radio stations in the U.S. — are required to participate in the test and submit required filings in the commission’s EAS Test Reporting System (ETRS). If conditions on that date require rescheduling, the alternate test date is Dec. 3. This is the first national periodic test since 2023. In the past, those tests have occurred every two years. Prior to the test, all EAS participants must submit their annual ETRS Form One for calendar year 2026 no later than Oct. 30.

The test will be disseminated in English and Spanish as a Common Alerting Protocol message using the Nationwide Test of the EAS (NPT) event code. It will be geo-targeted using the All-US (000000) geocode, according to FEMA. The test message audio and text, which the commission said is designed to be identical to the greatest extent possible, is as follows: “This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, covering the United States from 2:20 to 2:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action is required by the public.” Preparation steps The bureau encourages EAS participants to take the following preparation steps in coordination with their State Emergency Communications Committees: Ensure a copy of the EAS operating handbook is located at normal duty positions or equipment locations and is accessible to operators. A writable PDF version can be found on the bureau’s website. Review handbook procedures for actions operators must take upon receipt of the test alert and tailor steps specific to the facility. Review state EAS plans for monitoring assignments and ensure equipment is configured to monitor those sources. Update EAS equipment software and firmware to the most recent version. Ensure equipment clocks are synchronized to official time provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology if not automatically set.
