What does "SWA" stand for?

I've seen SWA before, and I've never known what it meant. I think it's about siren testing, but I don't know. What does it mean?

It's stands for Severe Weather Awareness (Day/Week). That's usually the day where most states have their annual tornado drill and that can involve activating sirens.

Thanks! I know it seems like a dumb question, but I actually didn't know.

No dumb questions here. You can't learn unless you ask questions. ;)

Well, that's true! I guess it's not really a dumb question.
