is still uncertain. Stay informed of the latest conditions
and information by AM/FM radio, NOAA weather
radio, television or other means." Warning means "A
hazardous weather or flood event is imminent or
occurring. The severe weather event poses a significant
threat to public safety and/or property and the probabil-
ity of occurrence and location is high. Use safety
procedures according to the type of event (ie: tornado;
move to the lowest level of home or building, away
from glass or windows, etc.). Stay informed of the latest
conditions and information using battery operated
AM/FM radio or battery operated NOAA weather radio -
both can move easily with you to your place of safety."
When the term Emergency displays, it means "An event
that by itself would not kill or injure persons, or result in
property damage but indirectly may cause other things
to happen that may result in a hazard. For example, a
major power or telephone loss in a large city alone is
not a direct hazard, but disruption to other critical
services could create a variety of conditions that could
directly threaten public safety."
As you proceed through the list of event types, you will
be shown the current status for each alert tone (On or
Off). Toggle between on and off settings by pressing the
NO button. After confirming the desired status of tone
(On or Off) for specific warning(s), save your selection
for by pressing the YES button.
