Cisco805 User ID: 4080858 United States 11/01/2011 10:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Exercise Pacific Wave 11 will be held on 9 and 10 November 2011, and will involve multiple scenarios, played out in real time, to allow all Pacific countries to select and exercise a regional/local source tsunami event. Countries are recommended to choose only one scenario to exercise. However, countries may exercise more than one scenario simultaneously, if they wish. The exercise scenarios include major tsunamis generated by great earthquakes in the following areas: Quoting: IwantToBelieve76 • Kamchatka (Kuril--Kamchatka Trench) • Ryukyu Islands (Nansei--Shoto Trench) • Philippines--South China Sea (Manila Trench) • Philippines--Pacific Ocean (Philippines Trench) • Vanuatu (New Hebrides Trench) • Tonga (Tonga Trench) • Northern Chile (Peru--Chile Trench) • Ecuador (Colombia--Ecuador Trench) • Central America (Middle America Trench) • Aleutian Islands (Aleutian Trench) In each exercise scenario, the simulated tsunami will be propagate in real time. Each scenario will be started during the morning hours in the tsunami source region, and will last for approximately six to nine hours to simulate the earthquake occurrence.

tomasgod1 User ID: 1494107 United States 11/01/2011 11:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We have the EAS Nationwide Testing on the 9th as well. How will the national EAS test be conducted? The national EAS test will be conducted jointly by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through its Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS), the three federal agencies that have EAS management responsibilities. FEMA is the arm of the DHS primarily responsible for developing national alert and warning functions. The FCC is an independent agency that grants licenses to or otherwise oversees EAS Participants. FCC rules regulate the transmission of EAS alerts. The NWS is a key player in the dissemination of local warnings via the EAS. The great majority of EAS alerts are NWS weather-related alerts. On November 9, at 2 PM EST, FEMA will transmit the EAS code for national level emergencies to Primary Entry Point (PEP) stations in the national level of the EAS. The PEP stations will then rebroadcast the alert to the general public in their broadcast vicinity, as well as to the next level of EAS Participants monitoring them. This should continue through all levels of the system, until the national alert has been distributed throughout the entire country. Pursuant to the FCC’s rules, all EAS Participants must report back to the FCC on the results of this test, including whether, and from whom, they received the alert message and whether they rebroadcast it. FEMA and the FCC will study these results to determine if there are problems with the system and, if so, how best to remedy them. We anticipate that a national test will be conducted periodically to ensure that the EAS is, and remains, functional. FEMA and the FCC have already twice tested the EAS national code on a more limited basis, in the state of Alaska. The lessons learned from the Alaska tests will inform how the agencies conduct the national test. What will People Hear During The Test? During the test, viewers will hear a message indicating that “This is a test.” Although the National EAS Test may resemble the periodic, monthly EAS tests that most Americans are already familiar with, there will be some differences in what viewers will see and hear, which is one reason for conducting a national EAS test. The audio message will be the same for all EAS Participants; however, due to limitations in the EAS, the video test message scroll may not be the same or indicate that “This is a test.” This is due to the use of a “live” national code – the same code that would be used in an actual emergency. In addition, the background image that appears on video screens during an alert may indicate that “This is a test,” but in some instances there might not be an image at all. FEMA and the FCC plan to conduct outreach to organizations representing people with hearing disabilities to prepare that community for the national EAS test. Outreach will include specific information tailored to the needs of those with hearing disabilities that will be readily available at online sites. In addition, FEMA and the FCC will work with EAS Participants to explore whether there are solutions to address this limitation. The text at the bottom of the television screen may indicate that an “Emergency Alert Notification has been issued.” This notification is used to disseminate a national alert and in this case, the test. How long will the test last? We anticipate that the test will last approximately3 minutes. While state and local EAS messages are limited to 2 minutes, there is no time limit for national EAS alerts. To evaluate whether the system properly interprets the national message code in the national EAS test, the message duration must be longer than two minutes. Why is the national test being conducted at this particular date and time? While EAS tests may be disruptive, they are important to ensure that the EAS is functional and that EAS Participants are prepared to issue alerts, and it is our intent to minimize disruption and confusion to the extent possible. The November 9 date is near the end of hurricane season and before the severe winter weather season begins in earnest. The 2 PM EST broadcast time will minimize disruption during rush hours, while ensuring that the test occurs during working hours across the United States. What is the source of FEMA’s and the FCC’s authority for conducting the national EAS test? Pursuant to the FCC’s rules, EAS Participants must take part in nationwide tests of the EAS. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which administers the EAS, has the authority to ensure the conduct of training, tests, and exercises of the EAS by Executive Order.

[link to www.fcc.gov] Read that! They are saying that they may or may not announce that it is a test when they conduct this. So basically those that hear thie "test" and don't know about this nationwide test could possibly believe something is going down? How are we to know that something really isn't going down? This is all too peculiar. Turn the circus off, or at least know you're watching one... |
