When do they turn it back on?

They did not give a time frame.

I found this on Homeland Security's FAQ.

How long will the test last?

We anticipate that the test will last approximately 3 minutes.  While state and local EAS messages are limited to 2 minutes, there is no time limit for national EAS alerts. To evaluate whether the system properly interprets the national message code in the national EAS test, the message duration must be longer than two minutes.

I say it lasts 5 minutes or longer.
