The weekly and monthly tests can also be skipped if a legitimate activation has already happened that week, since obviously everything is in working order. The system is tested frequently note At least one test is carried out every week, usually just to make sure all equipment is functional, but monthly tests and the annual national test go through an entire activation of the system.Modern weather radios and cell phones are sufficiently advanced that they can turn on to broadcast a warning (useful if it's the middle of the night). The modern version is known as the Emergency Alert System or EAS, because it's not just for broadcast - you can also get alerts on satellite and cable TV, weather radios, highway signs, or your cell phone, in addition to radio and OTA television. Then the government learned it could also be used to warn people about local emergencies like extreme weather events, upgraded the system, and renamed it the Emergency Broadcast System. The first version of it was called CONELRAD and designed for the very specific purpose of warning people that the Soviets were bombing. was the first country to institute a nationwide emergency broadcast system. In some occasions, both in fiction and real life, an emergency broadcast might outright preempt a program. May involve an Emergency Presidential Address. In many countries, Atomic Hate was the primary reason for the system's creation, and it eventually (and thankfully) ended up never being used for that purpose ( yet, anyway) and being used for many others. Another frequent frustration is when an actual alert has such horrible sound quality you can't understand what's being said. a missing child warning, a flood when you're on high ground, a tsunami when you're 100 miles inland) may be a Berserk Button and lead to frustration with Crying Wolf. On the other hand, a test or a warning of something that doesn't affect you (e.g. Hearing an Emergency Broadcast warning of actual danger may lead to Oh, Crap!, Mass "Oh, Crap!", the need for one's brown pants to be brought - in that way, it may be the ultimate Brown Note. The Emergency Broadcast is a means of public warning and public annoyance alike. The answer to the question, "Hell is that noise?"
