If you are a person with hearing and/or visual limitations or a relative of one, be sure to be near a radio or TV or your cell phone so that you can identify any accessibility problems with the test messages and send your comments to this Link.

The test will be done in English and Spanish and will include audio and text of the alert messages for people with hearing and/or visual limitations.   It is very important that you be attentive to this. Think, for example, that a natural disaster has happened and alert messages are being broadcast.  The messages contain information that could save your life.  That is why it is important for you to help identify any accessibility problems and contact the Public Public Safety Support Center of the Federal Communications Commission.  Your comments could potentially save lives.
