Alaska’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management says Alaskans should “Chill, it’s a Drill” this March 30 when they hear the annual test of emergency tsunami messages and sirens.

Zidek: “There’s going to be a scroll message that says that it is a test, however some folks may not hear the audio that it is a test and it may just sound like it is an actual tsunami warning or look like an actual tsunami warning. So we want people to be aware of it, it’s going to take place at March 25 at 10:15 in the morning.”
During the test on Wednesday, March 30, between 10:15 AM and 10:45 AM Alaskans in coastal communities may hear tsunami sirens may sound. At that same time, TV and radio audiences may see or hear a message that a tsunami warning has been issued impacting Alaska
That test will be cancelled in the event of any significant seismic activity like an earthquake.
