Clicked send to fast, and FCC's approval of FEMA's request for a national
test of EAS and WEA.

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.
