If you have any questions regarding alarm tests or to verify if a test was conducted, contact the programming office of your local NOAA Weather Radio station.

RECEPTION PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
MANY THINGS AFFECT RECEPTION!
Forests, deserts, and hills / mountains tend to greatly reduce reception. Metal roofs on homes or buildings may limit reception indoors for transmissions and alerts. Reception in cities may be reduced due to steel and concrete, while higher elevations will enhance the signal. Reception can vary from room to room. Moving even a few feet can enhance signal reception.
