National Weather Service:  162.55 MHz (Portland office)

State Relay (SR): 91.5 KOPB-FM (the first generation audio for tests and alerts from the State)

Capital Operational Area (Salem) LP-1 KWVT-LP TV Channel 17.2 (since Salem is in the Portland metro)

Washington State Relay Network (SRN):  155.475 MHz (except for RMT and CAE)
