QUESTION: Emergency Broadcast System.
Besides receiving a notification on our smartphone, is there a way for us to see/hear the message online?
I don't have cable TV anymore and don't want to miss the potential possibility of Trump speaking to us on video.
Would it be enough to watch something like RSBN's LiveStream on YouTube?
I’m not in the industry, but I do have an interest in EAS systems - I’d say that the streams probably won’t contain alerts directly. Usually EAS encoders are part of the broadcast chain, TV streams typically originate above that. Happy to be corrected, though. If you can find a 3rd party stream of a cable/satellite feed that’d work too.
Do you have an FM/AM radio? That’d be the next best source. All stations should be part of the EAS chain and likely will get the message out, but if things go down the only truly reliable station is your nearest PEP station. Check this map for yours: https://djwild.pages.iu.edu/pep.jpg
You might be able to find an AM/FM 3rd party stream that is just streaming a radio receiving a station. It has to be that though, usually the streams on radio station’s sites are, again, above the broadcast chain.
Ya I have radio, thanks!
