This is a coordinated monthly test of the broadcast stations in your area and Emergency Management. If this had been an actual emergency - such as a tornado - official messages would have followed the alert tone. This concludes this test of the Emergency Alert System.

This test is from the Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Normally monthly tests are sent the first Wednesday of the month. This is only a test, no action required.
