Fema to run test on EAS... linked to elenin?

found this article which claims fema are running a test on the EAS on november 9th around the same time earth is expected to pass through the tail debris of the comet.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The nationwide test will occur on Wednesday, November 9 at 2 p.m. eastern standard time and may last up to three and a half minutes

The EAS is a national alert and warning system established to enable the President of the United States to address the American public during emergencies.

On November 9, the public will hear a message indicating that “This is a test.”

It is noteworthy that the ‘test’ takes place on November 9, considering that Elenin, closest on October 17, 2011 at .232 AU from Earth and astroid 2005 YU55 will approach Earth within 0.85 lunar distances on November 8 to November 9, around the exact same time the Earth is expected to smack into the debris tail of Elenin.

so what do you think, is this just a coincidence or does FEMA know more than they are telling us?


with more and more stories daily about this comet and especially of late, the correlations between it and earthquakes on earth, maybe there is something to it.. i still remain skeptical that this will be an ELE event, but im opening up more to the idea, that this object may have some affect on us and our planet..




edit to add... wasnt sure which forum to post this... feel free to move if neccasary..

good find
when they say nationwide will that include the uk that will receive this warning?? or just usa?
just read full link and i think its usa only .

Just the U.S. I assume.

So when we pass through this comet's tail, what are we looking at as a result? Nothing? Horrific meteor showers? I don't know much about this kind of stuff

wanted to also say.. there have been occasions in the past, more specificaly, the london 7/7 bombing, when the emergency services were running "tests" at the time.. which already had the appropriate response ready for a disaster..

in the case of 7/7 all rescue, ambulance, fire and police services were running a simulation on a a terrorist attack on londons tube network.. on the exact day it happened.. because of this the response to the attack was immediate.

could this be a similar scenario?

Heck...they may have to test/use it before that date.

And FEMA covering something up?? This is the same FEMA that steered a Cat 5 hurricane into a large populated city that is well below sea level a few years ago and then took as long as humanly possible to deliver fresh water, medical assistance and rescue help to the area.

Is the UK within the USA? If it is, please let me know, but the last time I knew... It wasn't. So nationwide means NATION of USA. not WORLDWIDE

notice a date pattern? (11/9/11) ... (9/11) not a coincidence

Oh I didn't know a comet tail will only affect the USA.

nice avatar... is that bob the humanoid? (or whatever he was called)

no i think it is just the u.s from what i understand... maybe we should look out for similar things going on in the uk around this time..

no one said it was only going to affect the u.s... it is an article about the u.s running emergency tests around this time...

maybe.. have a look and see if australia are planning similar things, ill see if i can find anything going on in the uk..

if they are, you can be sure something is happening..


as i said in the op, maybe its just a coincidence, but it doesnt hurt to have a look into it..

lol yeah the original bob ;-)
uk is usless ! the way they cover everything up i doubt we will find out much of what they are doing.
alot of stuff going on that we dont know about imo....but hey i know for the nearest nuclear bunker to me is only 10mins away (shhhh its a secret lol)
doubt id be able to get in there mind but id try my hardest haha

nothing i can find specifically about november, but there are many articles talking about the uk tests on the emergency flood response recently...

Trust you to comment on it's tail, like you know what it is.

anyway I found this for Australia, a gathering of heads of emergency management. Look at the dates. Getting them all in one location prior to the event. Maybe.
ERMA 2011

just checked for wales and couldnt find much apart from a emergency disaster document that has stuff blacked out on page 10 and from page 29 to 35 for some reason?
wales.gov.uk...

might as well have printed a blank document for the people of wales

freedom of information act means nothing these days cos you always end up with the same lies

Blacked out parts aren't done very well... You can copy the text behind the blackness and paste it somewhere else to read it lol

14.3 The aim of the Mass Fatalities Work Stream is to ensure partners have arrangements in place to deal with mass fatalities resulting from a major or catastrophic incident. As well as issuing National Guidance the Mass Fatalities Work Stream has developed a programme: Central Assistance to Supplement the Local Response. This consists of the following; 14.4 National Emergency Mortuary Arrangements (NEMA) The Home Office has contracted with Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR) for the provision of National Emergency Mortuary Arrangements (NEMA). Under the contract, KBR will make available on a 24/7 basis the following: • A set of demountable temporary structures providing all of the areas required for an emergency mortuary, configurable for either 300 or 600 fatalities. Details shown at appendix 4. • Delivery of the structures anywhere in England and Wales, • Within 24 hours of notification, construction of the entrance, storage and autopsy areas will be complete, • Construction of the emergency mortuary will be completed within 72 hours of notification, • Provision of associated power and waste management requirements, • Decommissioning of the emergency mortuary. 14.5 National Emergency Mortuary (NEM) – General Equipment

14.5 National Emergency Mortuary (NEM) – General Equipment
General Equipment is co-located with the NEM. The equipment has been divided into four deployable pods of equipment. Each pod contains sufficient equipment to set up an autopsy suite. Therefore two pods would be required to set up each 300 body holding capacity NEM. Individual pods can be requested to equip a small scale temporary mortuary and act as an immediate source of equipment to get a local temporary mortuary up and running.
14.6 Specialist Radiographic Emergency Mortuary Equipment
A contract has been let with Xograph Imaging Systems Ltd. for the provision of radiographic equipment. Two sets of equipment have been retained in order to

PROTECT Final - Version 0.5 provide sufficient resilience to supply NEMA whether deployed as a single mortuary facility or two smaller facilities. Each set includes: • 2 mobile image intensifiers (C-arms), • 2 mobile imaging tables, • I direct digital mobile x-ray unit, • 1 mobile imaging table (with cassette tray), • 2 mobile direct digital dental imaging systems.

The Mass Fatalities Section has contracted KBR to make two self-contained storage units each with a body holding capacity of up to 96 fatalities.

That's just some of the blacked out text. None of seems very sensitive so I'm guessing they blacked it out for some other reason.

haha just tried it and it worked.
cheers

Do you use Firefox? That's what I'm using currently.

Anyways, headline at the top of page 29 reads;

Site Survey Form - Local Authority NEMA Sites – Information for KBR

Then the rest of the page seems to be some kind of checklist for setting up a NEMA Site. Interestingly enough, on page 29 the blacked out text at the top of the boxed in text I could only see the last bit of that text which is "...SITE CRITERIA". No clue what it says before that.

Some more stuff from page 29;

• Confirm site is not located on floodplains, watercourses, sensitive receptors, designated nature

• Confirm that there is site access for HGVs (articulated trucks with standard 40 foot trailers and no special height or width provisions) and a 50 tonne crane. If relevant, please detail any potential problems e.g. low bridges, narrow roads etc.

• Confirm pitch of site is no greater than 5% at any point.

• Attach site maps/ diagrams/ drawings showing services.

PAGE 30

Supplementary Guidance Minimum Requirements Dimensions - The footprint of the current NEMA 600 fatality facility is 168m x 141m, so in order for NEMA to be used without any redesign, this minimum footprint is required. If the site is a car park at present, remember that you will need to arrange removal of any bollards and lamp standards before it can be used. Environment - KBR cannot use any designated conservation sites. KBR cannot use any site located within a high risk floodplain. Access - The vehicles used to transport the equipment to site are HGVs with 40 foot trailers. A crane with a load capacity of 50 tonnes is also used. If there are two access routes, please indicate preferred route. Pitch - The structures used for NEMA require a site with less than 5% pitch. If a site has a pitch greater than 5%, this could be overcome, but would hugely delay the construction time and, realistically, should not be considered as an appropriate site. Additional Information Needed Maps - Plans of the proposed site ranging from aerial photos to full service survey maps are very helpful. The more detailed the plans that can be provided, the better prepared KBR can be, and the quicker the site can be supplied. A full survey is the most desirable site description, but please send what ever is available, showing the location of services if possible. Drainage - KBR does provide a waste water system that is deployed as part of NEMA. However, for long term deployments, connection to mains drainage sewage is highly desirable. KBR stocks connection water and drainage pipes for distances of up to 50 metres – any greater distance would need additional pipes. This would not be impossible, but they would have to be sourced. Supply of Services - KBR does provide water distribution and power distribution systems that are deployed as part of NEMA. However, for long term deployments, connection to mains water and power is highly desirable. KBR stocks cable for distances of up to 50 metres – any greater distance would need additional cable and this is likely to be extremely difficult to come by in the short term. When detailing mobile phone reception, you should check this by site visit – operators’ maps do not always have the required degree of accuracy. Security - KBR provides as part of NEMA solid panelled hoarding that surrounds the perimeter of the site. However, additional perimeter security to cover any land being used outside the basic 168m x 141m footprint (e.g. for car parks), would be desirable. Planning - KBR uses this question to indicate to local authorities that planning permission is likely to be needed, as it is the responsibility of the local authority to secure planning permission. KBR does not foresee this as a major issue and, if this is a long term solution, planning permission can be given retrospectively. However, it is important that local authority emergency planners inform the planning department in advance, so that informati

British Red Cross to test emergency response

Exercise Watermark is one of the biggest emergency response exercises to take place nationally, and will test the arrangements across England and Wales to respond to severe, wide-spread flooding. It will use scenarios based on severe weather conditions including flooding from the sea, rivers, surface water and reservoirs.

National Guard Members to Test Emergency Response Capabilities

U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) is preparing to launch an interagency, international mission, March 21, aimed at providing a fast, coordinated response should disaster strike the Pacific Ocean region.

International Simulation Tests Disaster Response

Planning for X24 Europe began months ago. However, the X24 team is closely watching the situation in Japan and and political unrest in the Middle East, and will incorporate lessons learned to improve response to the simulation in X24 Europe. “A major part of the simulation will be current events,”

seems to be loads of these tests going on this year... although this is probably something that is regularly done to organise the response in case of natural disasters..

i cant find anything else specifically happening in november, guess we will just have to wait and see...
