(Area) FEMA and the FCC are conducting a national test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System today (Wednesday) at 1:20 p.m.
The national test will help ensure that Wireless Emergency Alerts and the Emergency Alert System continue to be effective ways to warn the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level.
According to FEMA, all major U.S. wireless providers participate in Wireless Emergency Alerts and will transmit the national test to their subscribers.
