The National Weather Service’s Tsunami Warning Center conducted a routine emergency alert test on Sunday afternoon, issuing a practice tsunami warning that remained active for exactly one hour.
The test alert was activated at 12:31 PM EDT on April 28th and concluded at 1:31 PM EDT the same day. These periodic drills are conducted by the National Tsunami Warning Center to ensure emergency communication systems function properly during actual coastal emergencies.
Such testing exercises help verify that warning systems can effectively reach coastal communities and emergency management agencies when real tsunami threats arise.
