No. It could have been a mistake. Federal regs require all tests to be anounced.
If it is not a test, it must be accompanied by an official anouncement, as to what the emergency was.
I've heard once or twice where it was like this, a tone without an anouncement. One was a dude joking around and was arrested, lost his job.
The other was a kid who set it off "by accident" when visiting a station once. Had to issue a public apology and was banned from radio stations. I dont remember if he had to do community service.
Yes it does happen, but used to be there were heavy consequences for fakes.

Right and now this has happened multiple times. Also: https://greatawakening.win/p/12hRCFk0GJ/x/c/4Dx422Dw3n8
All I can say, is if there was no anouncement, call the radio station and ask. Also, if they don't satisfy, report them.
