Newport News-Times: Weather Service to conduct tsunami warning test: "Weather Service to conduct tsunami warning test
Test will be Wednesday morning
NOAA's National Weather Service will conduct a limited communications test of the Tsunami Warning System in the coastal areas of California, Oregon, and Washington between 10:45 a.m. and 11 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Wednesday, Sept. 13.
The West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center, located in Palmer, Alaska will disseminate a special test tsunami warning message. The message will be clearly labeled as a test. Upon receipt of the test message, National Weather Service offices responsible for western coastal areas will broadcast a brief message via NOAA Weather Radio, describing the purpose of the test, using the 'Required Monthly Test' (RMT) code. The actual Tsunami Warning code (EAS code TSW) will not be used for this test."
