The test will take place on Wednesday, October 4, at approximately 2:20 p.m. Eastern Time. The goal of the test is to improve emergency response and preparedness capabilities so that people receive accurate and timely information during a crisis. The test will involve two types of alerts: wireless emergency alerts (WEA) and the emergency alert system (EAS) . The WEA alert will be sent out to all cellular devices and will be accompanied by a unique tone and vibration to make sure that the alerts are accessible to everyone. The EAS test will last about 60 seconds and will be broadcast on radios and televisions. The message will state: “This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, covering the United States from 14:20 to 14:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action is required by the public” .
