When it comes to testing tsunami warnings in Alaska, the team is a bit out of practice, which may have contributed to Wednesday's breakdown in communication.
Wednesday was the annual test of Alaska’s tsunami warning system. Radio and TV stations along the coast of the Gulf of Alaska were expected to broadcast a test of an emergency alert – similar to what you’d hear during a real tsunami.
Dave Snider, with the U.S. Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, says a combination of technical glitches, along with some confusion, prevented the test from reaching those places. Forecasters in Anchorage failed to pass the message along. An abundance of caution But when forecasters at the National Weather Service office in Anchorage received the test signal at 10:15 a.m. Wednesday, they failed to enable the regional Emergency Alert System. So the message never reached radio stations like KBBI in Homer, KMXT in Kodiak or KUCB in Unalaska.
