LOGAN – Television and radio broadcasts will be briefly interrupted on Tuesday, Nov. 17, according to Ron Gonsalves, the director of Logan’s Emergency Management Services.
That interruption will be no cause for panic, he says, but rather a scheduled test of the national Emergency Alert System by officials of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Communications Commission.
At 12:20 p.m. Mountain Time, those broadcasts will be replaced with a test message lasting approximately one minute, Gonsalves explains.
This is a routine test to ensure our nation’s emergency alerting systems are operational and ready when needed.
Gonsalves adds that the nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System will not effect cell phone service.
As always, Logan officials advise residents to stay informed, stay prepared and stay safe.
