Nationwide Emergency Alert System Test
FEMA and the FCC will run a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System
at 1:20 p.m. our time (2:20 p.m. Eastern). Radio stations, TV stations and cable systems
will interrupt programming briefly with the test tones and this message:
“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.”
Unlike the 2023 test, this one will not come to cell phones —
FEMA is testing only the radio and TV side this time.
Nothing to do — it’s only a test. If conditions that day force
a delay, it will run on Thursday, December 3 instead.
If the test doesn’t come through on your station, or something about it goes wrong,
the FCC asks people to report it at its
Public Safety Support Center.
From FCC Public Notice DA 26-989 and FEMA’s announcement, September 16, 2026.
