What will the weather radio alert message say?

  • As this will be a live test, to prevent the chance of confusion or misinterpretation of alerts causing panic, the only message sent will clearly identify itself as a test alert and will not attempt to convey any information regarding a threat of disaster or actions to be taken. The NWR warning alarm will sound one time, then be followed by a short test message, and then a closing alarm tone. This test message will be transmitted as a Civil Emergency Message and the words “Civil Emergency Message” may scroll across the NWR displays of compatible radios. The NWR test cycle will play through only one time.
