Tsunami Test

From The National Weather Service:

"Residents and visitors along the Atlantic coasts of the United States and Canada, the Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands should not be alarmed when they hear tsunami test messages broadcast over their televisions and radios on Thursday, April 2, 2009. That day, at 9:00 a.m. EDT (8:00 a.m. CDT), officials will test the region’s communication and response plans to help communities prepare for a tsunami."


From the Dennis Police Department:

REMINDER - TEST WILL BE ON THURSDAY APRIL 2ND - LOOK FOR THE BIG WAVE! THERE IS NOTHING FOR ANYONE TO DO JUST BE AWARE IN CASE WE GET CALLS.


I have printed out a few copies of the NOAA explanation of the test and have placed them at circ and reference, just in case you need them for a patron.
Any questions, just let me know.

Thanks!
