The first-ever nationwide test of the emergency alert system will take place at 11 o’clock this morning, meaning a short message will be broadcast over every radio and television station.
Sgt. Ross McDowell, deputy director of Lewis County Emergency Management, asks the public to be aware it’s only a test, and not to be alarmed.
“They don’t need to call 911 or anyone else, it’s just a test,” McDowell said.
