Important test Nov. 9th to be on TV and radio stations...
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) on Wednesday, November 9 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern) and may last up to three and a half minutes. On November 9, the public will hear a message indicating that "This is a test." The audio message will be the same for both radio and television. A Nationwide EAS Test will help the federal agencies and EAS participants determine the reliability of the system and its effectiveness in notifying the public of emergencies and potential dangers nationally and regionally.
The public is used to hearing these tests on radio and television, but not for the expected three and a half minutes. This message is to be broadcast additionally on cable and satellite television as well as satellite radio, which in the past, have not fully participated. This message will be on every channel and every station that some one could be expected to be listening to. The EAS participants will then report back to FEMA on the outcome of forwarding this message through their respective systems.
This notice is being sent, as will other public service announcements to come from the Federal government, to inform you of this test and to pass this information on to your employees and/or citizens where possible. Our main concern is people not being aware of this test and flooding 911 centers with questions about a national emergency. This test could be postponed if conditions warrant, such as a real emergency or severe weather conditions so as not to confuse the public.

From the desk of Senator David Pearce
The Missouri Senate is never a quiet place. Even though the special session just ended, the time between legislative sessions, meetings and discussions and preparations for the upcoming session keeps us busy. Sometimes the interim is the only time that certain committees can meet. Occasionally, committees are created during the interim in order to utilize the time for research and discussion.
This interim, in response to the many natural disasters our state witnessed this year, Senate leadership created the Senate Interim Committee on Natural Disaster Recovery to focus on various forms that disaster recovery takes in our state. Three subcommittees focused on emergency, fiscal, and insurance response.

As we head further into the fall, there are a number of activities going on in the surrounding community to keep in mind. Previously, we have discussed safety tips for hunting, which is one of the biggest activities this time of year for citizens of all ages. But another event lurking around the corner with its candy bag open and waiting for treats is Halloween. As we prepare our children and ourselves for this fun-filled tradition, let’s try to make sure we make this a safe holiday for all our little costumed goblins.
