Original Message FEMA Confirms Shortened EAS Test
November 3, 2011 - FEMA has confirmed that the National EAS test, scheduled for November 9 at 2 p.m. ET, will be shortened from the original two minutes and 30 seconds to 30 seconds, plus time for data burst tones that will make the total test time approximately 45 to 60 seconds.

The change was made at the direction of Janet Napolitano, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. The announcement was made late this morning.

Stations will need to consider modifying any PSAs already prepared that reflect the original longer test duration.

**edit from phen - just got a call from clyde lewis - on the phone with him now; he did a show on this last night quoting our thread, and this morning his program director got a dissemination from EAS, saying the shut down was reduced to 30 seconds because "people were asking questions". his station thinks DHS was listening in & his show has something to do with the reduction bc he was playing the tones on the air
