Today, the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) of the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) provides notice to 
all Emergency Alert System (EAS) Participants, Participating Commercial 
Mobile Service (CMS) Providers, and the public that the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with the FCC, will conduct
nationwide tests of the EAS and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) on 
October 4, 2023. If conditions on that date require the rescheduling of 
the tests, they will be conducted on October 11, 2023.
