Exception: In the event of an air or nuclear attack, a different tone will be activated. This tone will have a one-sec/one-sec sweep rate and will not be used for testing or other emergencies. This one-sec/one-sec sweep rate is called the attack tone which means it will change pitch every second. In either case of emergency it is recommended you go inside and listen for instruction from your local television or radio station.

What to Do When You Hear a Warning
-Remain calm and go inside immediately. Turn on your radio or television.
NOTE: In this area, WBAP Radio 820 AM is the designated Emergency Alert System (EAS) station. Most other radio and television stations will also broadcast information regarding emergencies.
-Listen carefully to instruction provided by the EAS station.
-Take whatever action is necessary to protect yourself and your family. -Stay inside unless you receive information that contradicts staying inside. It is almost always safer to stay inside until the emergency has ended.
-Please do not call 911 unless you must report a life-threatening situation.
-Keep blankets, water, food (non-perishable), flashlight, personal hygiene items, necessary medications, portable radio and spare batteries readily accessible.
-Have your driver’s license, checkbook, cash and credit cards with you.
-Always keep at least a half tank of fuel in your vehicle at all times.
-If you have a cellular telephone, keep it charged and accessible for these emergencies.
