...Test of the Tsunami Warning System in Alaska this morning...

The National Weather Service, Alaska Division of Homeland Security
and Emergency Management, and the Alaska Broadcasters Association
will be conducting a test of the Alaska Tsunami Warning System
today at approximately 10:20 am, to be broadcast on radio and
television stations. The broadcast will state that it is only a
test. Some communities may activate their sirens. NOAA Weather
Radio listeners will hear a tone alert followed by a test message.
The test will not be sent to cellphones via the Wireless
Emergency Alert (WEA) system, although in an actual Tsunami
Warning this system would be used.

After the test, we invite you to provide feedback at www dot ready
dot alaska dot gov. The test will be canceled in the event of any
significant seismic activity.
