This is the first attempt at an emergency alert test nationwide. According to FEMA's website, " Although the EAS has been in existence for over 15 years, a nationwide test of the system has never occurred."

 

Their page also says the test will last approximately 30 seconds. They are only testing, " all broadcasters, satellite and digital radio and television, cable television and wireline video providers." The internet will not be tested. 

 

Also, the date was chosen because it is the end of the hurricane season and just before the severe winter weather season. Although, you would think if they're intention was not to mess with peoples heads they would have chosen, say... November 8th, or how about any other day after that for the next month or so.

 

Seems they want us to make a connection between a nationwide alert and 911. So then the ultimate question becomes what is the intention behind this association? They obviously want us to associate this test with "that day" that lives in infamy; 911. So why? To mess with our heads and get us to accept our fate? Or to make the association so that we understand on a subconscious level the seriousness of the actual threat level for our own good.

You hit the nail on the head there Nikki!   It is to see if they can shut down all three form of information all at once.  Hopefully they won't be able to shut down HAM Radio or amateur Radio.  That could come in very handy!

 

Namaste!

There will be financial losses for businesses to shut down communications in the middle of a work day.  Will FEMA reimburse them?

Although I understand the need for a universal emergency communication means, I do not understand why the 11/09 date was chosen. This is clearly a tool meant to instill fear into a large population. As if we don't have enough to be afraid of! Why is this the first I've heard of this?

Maria, I believe it's 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon, a work day. What a strange time to do this.
