FYI: National FEMA Test scheduled for Wednesday, October 4th
On Wednesday, October 4th, 2023, at approximately 2:20 p.m., FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Puerto Rico Emergency Management Bureau will conduct a nationwide test to assess the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) capabilities. Wayland-Cohocton is making families aware of the national test for informational purposes only.
Beginning at approximately 2:20 p.m. during the national test, cell towers will broadcast the signal for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, WEA-compatible wireless phones that are switched on, within range of an active cell tower, and whose wireless provider participates in WEA, should be capable of receiving the test message. To help ensure that these alerts are accessible to the entire public, including people with disabilities, the alerts are accompanied by a unique tone and vibration.
