So TV and cable, what does your "real" EAN slide say?

We are redoing our EAN "appropriate" slide and there is internal debate as to the words that are needed. The real concern here is also the remote possibility of this slide accidently getting pushed up on air.

Slide 1 idea - "Emergency Alert System Activation" " This is an Emergency Action Notification requested by the White House. The President of the United States or his representative will be speaking to the nation shortly."  " This is not a test"

Slide 2 idea - "The Emergency Alert System has been activated" "Tune to your trusted news source for additional information"

Slide 3 idea - "Emergency Action Notification has been activated" The President of the United States or his representative will be speaking to the nation shortly."  " Or Tune to your trusted news source for additional information"
