National EAS Test

W

wlsl

Looking at several posts in other areas, it looks to me that there was significant problems with yesterday's test, including us.:mad:
 
None of the PEP stations in Florida received the test from FEMA. so it was not relayed to the LP1 stations.

Well that’s not good at all; thankfully this was just a test, but as WSLS said, it if had been an actual emergency; that would have disadvantaged many people, not everyone has a smart phone or even if they do; not everyone has cell coverage......this is where OTA radio (and that should include the LPFM’s) was can shine but only if the emergency systems are working .
 
Oh oh, can't escape from the SJWs out there! :)
 
To expect perfect results from a government program is naive at best.

With that said, a test of any kind will show up the discrepancies and that was what was desired.
A perfect test is NOT what they were looking for. What could be learned from that?

The FEMA test is a step ahead of New Orleans of 10 years ago who didn't even have drivers for all those busses sitting in the flooded parking lot.

Jeff in Sa-ra-so-ta!
