Around Town: What’s happening in Cordova

Tsunami siren drill

A Cordova tsunami siren drill will be held between 10:15 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. March 29. Do not call 911, as this is only a test of the tsunami warning system. You may hear sirens, or see or hear a message that a tsunami warning has been issued. This is a good time to make sure you know what to do in case of a real tsunami and practice your emergency preparedness procedures. Send feedback to ready.alaska.gov.
