Hey everyone! I’m curious about the most recent FEMA nationwide test. Can someone please provide information on when it occurred?
FEMA is mandated by law to conduct national tests of the Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS) at least once every three years. The most recent national test occurred in 2021. FEMA will conduct its next test on October 3, 2024.
On October 4, 2023, FEMA, in collaboration with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), carried out a nationwide test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).
