They will contain the message "[TEST] This is a test alert broadcast at $TIMESTAMP" (where $TIMESTAMP is the unix timestamp of initial broadcast), will expire in between 2 and 4 hours and will have varying prioriry.  They will be announced at 13:00 UTC (currently 9am EST).

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system, if this had been an actual
emergency, the attention signal you just heard would have been followed by
official information, news or instructions.

I'm sorry, I will shut up now.

Thanks,
