BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: A heads up here tonight about something coming tomorrow. If you're around any media, like TV or radio, at 2 PM Eastern time , you will hear one of those tests of the emergency alert system . But this one will be different. It's the first across the board national test of the new FEMA system designed to give the president or the government the ability to alert the population to a national disaster or event. They even have a slogan for tomorrow, "Don't stress, it's only a test."
