Request by JohnnyDart76. Its worth mentioning that the National Information Center is not a real entity, but the EAS code for an NIC statement still exists. I figured that the government (anyone with authority) can activate the EAS.

This request is kind of a cliff hanger; we really dont know how this one ends. Feel free to invent your own ending. Leave a comment or post a video response.

    about banking organizations."

    So there's your random fact of the day. Go Google! Basically, there is an NIC, but not how it is used here.

  • @tpirrules19a - That's strange, because the "National Information Center Statement" is a real EAS Alert code. As recently as 2004, an EAS handbook referenced the National Information Center.

    Weird. Anyway, thanks for the fun fact!

  • "be prepared to take action" just means "get ready to go out of your way to escape danger".

  • FYI, National Information Center Statements are to tell the public what happened after an Emergency Action Termination has been sent.

  • @EASvideocreator I did google EAS codes, and the first link I saw was on the National Weather Service page, the list of EAS SAME codes, and "NIC" was one. I wonder what it is truly for. To broadcast an EAS alert for bank data? lol. ;-) Seriously though, it is something to wonder.

  • The National Information Center is actually an actual entity, but it is a financial entity.

    According to its website, "The National Information Center (NIC) is a central repository of data about banks and other institutions for which the Federal Reserve has a supervisory, regulatory, or research interest, including both domestic and foreign banking organizations operating in the United States. This web site provides access to NIC data, allowing the public to search for detailed information

  • @Bendyournoodle: Gotta like that timeline...............

  • @Kenshin891: You want to know something? This is actually a preview to a video I'm hoping to finish soon. I will tell you this, though: it won't quite be what you might have been expecting ;-).

  • Oh, BTW, sounds like an impending nuclear strike. defconwarningsystem has said before that large-scale cyberattacks are possible before a nuclear attack
