So many of us grew up with the emergency broadcast system, right?
我们很多人都是在紧急广播系统中长大的,对吧?
万物简史
The city's emergency broadcast system, which was supposed to swing into action during a crisis, did not go on the air because the Sunday-morning staff did not know how to operate the equipment.
There's an asterisk here, though, because there's this distinction between the emergency broadcast system itself and the device for delivering it - this case, an AM radio in your car.
不过,这里有一个星号,因为紧急广播系统本身和传输它的设备之间存在区别 - 在本例中,是汽车中的 AM 收音机。
The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS), sometimes called the Emergency Action Notification System (EANS), is a former emergency warning system used in the United States that replaced the CONELRAD system. EBS was used from 1963 to 1997, at which point it was replaced by the Emergency Alert System.
