...Upcoming test of the Tsunami Warning System in Alaska...

On Wednesday, March 27th at approximately 10:20 am, the National
Weather Service, Alaska Division of Homeland Security and
Emergency Management, and the Alaska Broadcasters Association will
conduct a test of the Alaska tsunami warning system as a part of
tsunami preparedness week in Alaska. The test will be broadcast on
radio and television stations and 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.

Once again, a tsunami warning system test will be conducted on
Wednesday, March 27th at approximately 10:20 am. The test will be
canceled in the event of any significant seismic activity.
