If the situation ever presents itself, NAWAS is a nationwide system developed to send warnings of impending attack throughout the nation. The system may be activated from two federal facilities that are staffed 24 hours daily: the National Warning Center (North American Air Defense Command, Colorado Springs) and the Alternate National Warning Center (Olney, Maryland). NAWAS is tested three times daily at unscheduled times. 3.13.4 California Warning System The California Warning System (CALWAS) is the state portion of NAWAS that extends to communications and dispatch centers throughout the state. Both state and federal circuits are monitored 24 hours a day at the Warning Center, the alternate point, and each of the local warning points. Circuits then extend to county warning points. Counties not on this system will receive warning through other means (normally over the CLETS). Immediately following the NAWAS test through the Warning Center, the state conducts the CALWAS test through Cal OES. On alternate Wednesdays, the CHP conducts a test at 10:00 a.m. local time. Backup communications systems for CALWAS alerts include: • California Emergency Services Fire Radio System (CESFRS) • California Emergency Services Radio System (CESRS) • California Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Radio System (CLEMARS) • California Law Enforcement Radio System (CLERS) • California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) 3.13.5 National Weather Service The National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Radio All Hazards transmitters broadcast on one of seven VHF frequencies from 162.400 MHz to 162.550 MHz frequencies.
