Narrative:
We we being vectored for RNAV 24 approach into roa; level at 4000 feet. We received a terrain warning message from the egpws. I disconnected the autopilot; added max power and climbed to 5000 feet. The first officer asked ATC; and they responded the MVA (minimum vectoring altitude) in our area was 4000 feet. We were then cleared to 5000 feet and continued on our approach vector. The flight conditions were clear skies and unlimited visibility. We had visual contact with the terrain and we had the terrain map selected on our mfd. We complied with the aom (aircraft operating manual). We were clearly visually clear of terrain. The MVA was 4000 feet which was our current altitude. The terrain map showed nothing in our location. We complied with the aom for nighttime terrain warnings.
