NS fans turn up for Crosby's homecoming | SaltWire - Russia will conduct a nationwide test of its emergency public warning systems on Wednesday, letting sirens wail and interrupting television and radio broadcasts with security information.
"The warning system is designed to timely convey a signal to the population in the event of a threat or emergency of a natural or man-made nature."The test, first conducted in 2020, is part of a new initiative that requires authorities to conduct tests twice a year, starting from Sept. 1. The purpose of the U.S. test is to ensure that the systems"continue to be effective in alerting the public to emergencies, particularly at the national level", the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, said in a press release.
The Russian test falls on the 91st anniversary of the creation of Russia's civil defence system and follows nationwide educational drills in August on practicing actions and procedures in emergency situations, Russian media reported.
