KNIA/KRLS conducted a National Emergency Alert System yesterday at 1:22 p.m.
The test was successful. Iowa EAS Co-Chair Jim Davies says the alert system is important to the safety of Iowans. KNIA/KRLS Radio has invested in EAS equipment and participates in both weekly and monthly tests to assure that we are prepared to communicate information in the event of a local, state, regional or national emergency. The Iowa Emergency Alert System is the trigger for Amber Alerts statewide to help find missing and exploited children.
