Anxiety over upcoming test of US emergency system
(AFP) – Nov 3, 2011 — 10 hrs ago
“The test occurs at 1900 GMT Wednesday, November 9, and may last over three minutes — longer than the typical 30 seconds or one minute for most broadcast test messages.
The test is part of the Emergency Alert System designed to transmit, via TV and radio, emergency alerts and warnings regarding weather threats, child abductions and other types of emergencies, according to officials.”
Three minutes? Wow! And I thought my toilet session was too long! Hopefully, people with REAL emergency will know how to perform CPR on an unconscious person. Hmm.
