HAYS COUNTY
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, Aug. 4 at approximately 3:30 p.m. CST across the entire county.
At approximately 3:30 p.m. CST, a test message will be broadcast via radio, television and cable outlets through the EAS. Simultaneously, a WEA test message will be sent to compatible mobile phones in the County. The messages will clearly state that they are part of a test, and no action is required from the public.
These tests are essential for verifying that both systems function properly across different platforms and networks, and that the public is aware of what an official alert will look and sound like. The public should use this time to review their emergency plans.
