SEWS
What is SEWS? It is a distinctive sound broadcast over radio or television.
As part of a coordinated national emergency plan, an audio signal has been adopted to alert the community to an urgent safety message relating to an identified emergency such as a flood, fire, or earthquake aftershocks. The SEWS will be broadcast immediately before an urgent safety message.
What do I do when I hear it? Following the signal there will be a message. Pay immediate attention, listen to the announcement, and follow any instructions given.
