Emergency Alert System Scenarios note (usually shortened to EAS Scenarios, but are also referred as EAS Mocks and EAS Stories.) are a collection of videos dedicated to telling fictional stories regarding the Emergency Alert System, the United States' national warning system. These scenarios usually deal with horror related situations, whether made realistically, made with surreal situations or problems, or not having the threat(s) visible or described. They are a subtrope of the Disaster Movie, although the Disaster Movie is usually a much more high-budget production, whereas the EAS scenario is often a single-creator or small group of creators shoestring budget independent production. Nonetheless, quite a few EAS scenarios have better quality/production value/ research than some disaster movies ever could aspire to have.Much of the trends and themes common to Analog Horror videos were first popularised through videos like these; while EAS Scenarios themselves have been included in the Analog Horror genre, it can be argued that the genre as a whole bloomed from videos like these.Several common traits shared between them are as follows: Screens made from the EAS, usually recreated visually and audibly to be almost as exactly as it would appear on TV. note Due to how some videos are made high in quality, these videos are often used for pranking, though it isn't recommended. Most of these videos use "valid" emergency alert tones, which run a chance of activating real EAS hardware if played over the air. A disclaimer detailing that the events presented in videos are not real and are not to be taken seriously. note As of late, this also includes disclaimers that discourage intentionally setting off real EAS hardware using these scenarios and/or broadcasting them in public, with the creator denying responsibility and reminding viewers of the potential consequences (fines, jail time, etc.) should such an event occur. A main threat, usually escalating to where it may become uncontrollable and cause dire situations. A Bittersweet Ending or Downer Ending is presented, depending on how severe the threat is. In uncommon situations, there may be No Ending. A Happy Ending is very rare, but not unheard of. Transitions used to deliver more information regarding the plot. Voice acting used to deliver a more detailed story, and can provide Character Development if characters are used throughout the story, usually causing an Establishing Character Moment.Scenarios can be found on YouTube. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| EAS Scenarios (Web Video) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: The "Lost in Silence" scenario among various channels, popularized by The EAS Experience. The scenario involves a national emergency of any sort being played but the listener unable to receive the message before it's too late. Whether because of poor connection, an internal failure within the EAS system, or trouble finding the channel that serves the listener's area, it almost always ends in a Downer Ending. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| EAS Scenarios (Web Video) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: If the threat in a scenario gets too severe, the EAS text may urge viewers to take this measure. Though depending on the threat, doing this may be more of a Mercy Kill… Some end-of-the-world scenarios will actually try to avert this by urging viewers not to commit suicide, on the basis of suicide causing unnecessary emotional and physical pain instead of a calm and peaceful end. | |

And I Must Scream: According to invokedWord of God, those affected by the events in Demonized and Sleepless are aware of what's going on, but unable to do anything, as their bodies are being controlled or have their consciousness suppressed. In Do Not Look Up (not to be confused with the live action film), if you stare at the supernova that fills the sky you will never be able to move again, and worse yet, you will be completely conscious of what is happening but be unable to do anything about it until you eventually drop dead. | |

Colony Drop | |
| EAS Scenarios (Web Video) / int_b3eecaae | comment |
Colony Drop: KnucklesHedgehog2010’s The Wrath of Jupiter has Jupiter itself inflict this on the Earth by changing its orbit and moving towards the sun in a similar scenario to the Grand tack hypothesis. The colony drop comes courtesy of a hail of some of the Asteroid Belt’s largest objects. Humanity manages to survive, but many millions die, and no one knows why Jupiter’s orbit happened to move, which kickstarted the disaster. A similar plot happens in Harvester’s Nibiru, with the twist that governments have been attempting to cover up the existence of the titular planet and its crash course towards Earth in order to give everyone a chance to Face Death with Dignity. | |

Jump Scare | |
| EAS Scenarios (Web Video) / int_c04b1231 | comment |
Jump Scare: Often, a scenario may include static as a type of jump scare to indicate that things are worsening. Other forms include images, sounds, or even mobile emergency alerts. | |

Chekhov's Volcano | |
| EAS Scenarios (Web Video) / int_ca326e1e | comment |
Chekhov's Volcano: While not used often as a plot, scenarios centered around this topic will usually refer to a supervolcanic eruption, the most popular of which is the Yellowstone Caldera. Yuan P's V-DAY takes this to its extreme conclusion, albeit one that has to rely on a lot of Artistic License to get its premise to worknote In the scenario, every volcano that exists on the planet today erupts in quick succession, including some that have been extinct for millions of years, even if the chances of them erupting in reality is close to 0%, hence why we call them extinct. Plus, if every volcano on Earth was erupting at the same time, this would probably be a symptom of something much, much worse than just an impending volcanic winter. - by having every volcano on Earth erupt within the span of 24 hours. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| EAS Scenarios (Web Video) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: Due to how many scenarios are made, if a threat is mentioned, expect it to only be described through a voice, or through audio. Lost In Silence scenarios will never have any information regarding the main threat due to a glitch, which leaves the alert with mostly complete silence, until the end. | |

Disaster Dominoes | |

Disaster Dominoes: Many of the more prolonged scenarios are like this. Sometimes in a more realistic manner (e.g., most disasters are caused by a series of events *and* lead to other events), sometimes in an absurd or surreal manner (e.g., that missing kid is the trigger for a series of events that lead up to global thermonuclear war, that weird little stolen artifact discovered carries destructive potential, etc.) | |

Emergency Presidential Address: For any scenario that contains an Emergency Action Notification, this is common. This is rarely if ever visually shown, only heard through the broadcast. Sometimes they're text-to-speech and sometimes they're fully voice acted, but oftentimes, they're on the more pessimistic side of the scale. | |
