The Hays County Office of Emergency Services will conduct a coordinated test of both the Emergency Alert System and the Wireless Emergency Alerts system on Monday, August 4, at approximately 3:30 p.m. across the entire county.
The test is part of the county’s ongoing commitment to confirm that public warning systems are fully operational and capable of quickly delivering critical information to the public in the event of an emergency.
The Emergency Alert System is a national public warning tool that allows federal, state and local authorities to interrupt radio, television and cable broadcasts with important emergency information.
