	Emergency Alert System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Emergency Alert System (EAS), is a national system in the U.S. put into place in 1994, superseding the Emergency Broadcast System and is jointly administered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), FEMA, and the National Weather Service.
		The official EAS system is designed to enable the President of the United States to speak to the United States within 10 minutes (this official federal EAS system has never been activated).
		At 3:45 pm officials at the OEM announced that the activation and broadcast of the Emergency Alert System was in error due to the fact that the button used to conduct weekly EAS tests is located next to a button that is used to issue an emergency alert to evacuate the state.

	Radio Beat: Emergency Alert System is prepared
		The Emergency Alert System was adapted in 1997, says Mark Allen, president of the Washington State Association of Broadcasters, replacing an older version known as the Emergency Broadcast System.
		Allen says Washington broadcasters had their own experience with shortcomings of an older system that used what was known as a daisy chain to distribute alerts.
		The daisy-chain system was phased out in the early 1980s in favor of a microwave relay system that can be used to send messages directly to radio stations statewide, or to specific regions for more local events (such as a fire near Wenatchee or a flood on the lower Columbia).
