How many of you knew already about the FEMA National Emergency Alert coming on 11/9?

I'm guessing that most people haven't heard. The mainstream media isn't talking about it very much, although there are some articles being put out by local news stations. Not in my city though.

Here's the official video:

Not necessarily saying there's anything to worry about.

Haven't heard. Almost never watch broadcast TV though.

Lol @ the conspiracy youtube comments.

Ive been following this. Im very sketched out by it, especially the fact they changed the brodcast from 3:30second to 30seconds. Pretty strange they happened to choose a 9/11 date as well (11/9/11). Somethings up. There are also a few other things happening that day : the first ever tsunami drill, the comet EleNin and the asteroid YU55 are both passing by earth that day right before :-\ keep an eye out and be prepared for anything

They also said that not all broadcasts will let people know that it's just a "test". This is going to cause massive widespread fear and panic.

Mine too. The radio stations have been letting everyone know it's just a test. I don't watch local TV stations much, so I don't know what they have been saying.

Why the fear and panic? Why are you so worried about everything (here, in the thread you started about WW3, in your other thread on the Fed, etc.)?

I know there are some unpleasant things in this world, and we may need to pay attention to them sometimes, but if all you focus on are threats and worries, you're only going to experience fear, anxiety and unhappiness, and you won't get to enjoy the things in this world that aren't unpleasant, the wonderful parts.

life isn't all gloom and doom; some of it is lovely!

I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to panic in a situation like this. I realize the prime panic opportunity has passed this time, but surely similar ones will occur in the future and I want to be prepared.

I was thinking cowering in a bunker with canned beans, distilled water, rifle + ammo, chemical toilet, crank-powered radio, and an inflatable woman might be optimal. But I'm sure the people on this forum have some good ideas too

Take this example, to show you that your fear of things like this, aren't always valid. No massive widespread fear and panic happened, what's so ever. Now what?

The broad cast I heard was on an f.m. station , it was around 12:00 m.s.t. All that I could under stand was this is a test , then around 1 minute of un intelagable matereal .Its a good think it was only a test , if real I would not have known what to do . desert rat .
