The first-ever nationwide EAS test is less than a month away (November 9th) and the NAB is helping stations get geared up for this "diagnostic exercise." NAB has created a checklist so stations know what to do. And, with the FCC and FEMA, the NAB has produced PSA's you can download to help remind listeners the test is coming. Samples of the script are also available if you want to cut them yourself.

The NAB is encouraging broadcasters to begin airing the PSAs at least one week before the test, and with increasing frequency as November 9 approaches. For further information about the National EAS Test, NAB members may contact NAB's Legal Department at (866) 682-0276 or (202) 429-5430. Stations may also refer to the FCC's National EAS Test website or FEMA's National EAS Test website.
