FEMA and FCC Schedule 2026 Nationwide Test of the Emergency Alert System for November 17, 2026

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) plans to conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System on Tuesday, November 17, 2026. Through this test, FEMA will assess how participating broadcasters and other communications providers receive and relay a national test message to the public.

About the 2026 Nationwide Test

The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) Modernization Act of 2015 requires FEMA to conduct a nationwide test of the public alert and warning system at least once every three years. These tests evaluate the operational readiness and effectiveness of external Emergency Alert System participants and the infrastructure they use to relay national emergency messages to the public. Emergency Alert System participants include thousands of radio and television broadcasters, cable systems, satellite radio and television providers, and wireline video providers.

FEMA is coordinating with the Federal Communications Commission, National Association of Broadcasters, state broadcast associations, participating broadcast companies, and federal, state, tribal, and territorial agencies to prepare for and conduct the 2026 test.

What to Expect on the Day of the Test

On November 17, 2026, radio and television broadcasters, cable systems, satellite radio and television providers, and wireline video providers nationwide will interrupt normal programming to relay a test message. The message will state, “This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, covering the United States from 2:20 to 2:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action is required by the public.” The test will take place at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET. When it has concluded, normal programming will resume.

What Congressional Offices Should Know

Congressional offices should be aware of the following:

The test is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, 2026. If FEMA cannot conduct the test on that date, the backup date is Thursday, December 3, 2026.

The public will receive the test message through FCC-regulated radio and television broadcasts nationwide. The message will clearly state that it is only a test and that the public does not need to take action.

The test is intended to assess the readiness and effectiveness of the national alert and warning infrastructure, including how Emergency Alert System participants relay the test message to the public. Nationwide testing helps FEMA identify whether technological or process improvements are needed to support the distribution of emergency messages.

Congressional support is important. FEMA is providing this advisory so congressional offices understand what the nationwide test means and what constituents should expect. FEMA will continue sharing information about the test in advance of November 17 and welcomes congressional offices’ support in raising awareness of the test.

DEP Declares Statewide Code Red Air Quality Alert for Today
The state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has declared a statewide Code Red Air Quality Action Day for particulate matter (PM2.5) for Thursday, July 16, 2026.
Wildfire smoke from Canada and Minnesota will be entering Pennsylvania’s northernmost counties and pushing into southern counties Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, creating Code Red concentrations of PM2.5. Residents are strongly encouraged to check www.airnow.gov for current conditions in their area.

During Code Red Air Quality Alerts, all residents should consider limiting their outdoor activities, and sensitive groups, such as children, elderly residents, and those with respiratory illnesses, should avoid long or intense outdoor activities and consider moving activities indoors.
Residents and businesses within the Air Quality Alert areas are strongly encouraged to voluntarily help reduce fine particulate matter air pollution by:
• Avoiding the use of gas-powered lawn and garden equipment;
• Reducing or eliminating fireplace and wood stove use; and
• Avoiding the open burning of leaves, trash, and other materials
