Testing the Weather Alert Radio

Your local NOAA weather station regularly schedules testing periods. Contact them to find out the exact date and time to test your siren.

Testing your radio is very important because an emergency alert broadcast might not trigger your radio alert tone, even if it receives the audio broadcast clearly. If you are in a fringe area, you might be able to receive the alert tone in one part of your house but not another. Make sure you test it in the location you want to leave it.

The Alert indicators on the radio do not turn on during a test broadcast. Only the statement siren sounds and the message displays.
