The Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency will conduct the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The test will be conducted on Wednesday, November 9th at 2 p.m. ET. This test may last up to three and a half minutes, and will be transmitted via television and radio stations throughout the U.S. An audio message will interrupt television and radio programming indicating: "This is a test." When the test is over regular programming will resume.

For more information about the nationwide Emergency Alert System test, please visit http://www.fema.gov/medialibrary/media_records/6407 and www.FCC.gov.

The EAS test plays a key role in ensuring the nation is prepared for all hazards, and that the U.S. public can receive critical and vital information, should it ever be needed.

CENTRE CO. OWNER-OCCUPIED REHABILITATION PROGRAM

Centre County, through the Centre County Planning and Community Development Office, had received a federal grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) to provide funding to rehabilitate homes of low-income households in the Penns Valley Region. The goal of this program is to improve the quality of housing stock through rehabilitation and to preserve neighborhoods and communities in the Region.

Later this fall, applications will be taken in the communities of Aaronsburg, Centre Hall Borough, Madisonburg, Millheim Borough, Rebersburg and Spring Mills for this program (CCOOR). This will provide an opportunity for income-qualified homeowners to bring their eligible homes into compliance with established minimum property standards in order to provide safe, decent housing.

The total amount of the repairs to a dwelling is secured to the property in the form of a forgivable loan of up to $20,000 for rehabilitation, and a grant of up to $7,500 for lead reduction work. The COOR program will assist eligible households whose income is at or below 80% of the Centre County Area Median Family Income (up to $53,850.00 for a 4-person household).

To request an application package, please contact the Program Administrator at 814-278-4701. Please note that applications will be sent out in October.

For additional information you may call Linda Marshall at the Centre County Planning and Community Development Office at 814-355-6791.
