FCC published its 2019 nationwide EAS test report. The issues haven't
changed, and some improved.
"With respect to the single largest complication reported from the 2019
nationwide EAS test results – namely, issues with monitoring source
failures – FEMA notes that it is actively taking measures to
improve PEP performance going forward. In particular, FEMA has begun
working with SECCs in several states to conduct state-level tests on a
monthly basis and station-level tests on a weekly basis
through the PEP stations. FEMA emphasizes that continued testing of the
PEP stations will improve EAS performance over time, as this testing will
help ensure the PEP stations are relaying messages properly through the
EAS and allow stakeholders to make ongoing improvements and adjustments
as needed."
