FCC rules require that all EAS Participants report to the FCC on the results of their participation in the nationwide EAS test by December 27, 2011. Stations must report on whether, and from whom, they received the alert message and whether they rebroadcast it, among other basic information. FEMA and the FCC will study these results to assess any problems with the system and how best to remedy the issues. This information will remain confidential.

The FCC has created an online reporting system to ease compliance. Please consult the FCC's Public Notice announcing the Reporting System for further information. This Public Notice also contains information on how to submit your test results data in paper form.
