The county is troubleshooting the issue. Once the issue has been resolved, the county will schedule a re-test of the outdoor warning sirens.

The outdoor warning sirens are a part of an integrated system intended to alert residents outdoors of a tornado warning. Residents are encouraged to have multiple means of receiving severe weather alerts such as a NOAA Weather Radio, smart device app, AM/FM radio, and access to local weather information.

Free services are available through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), American Red Cross, and local media outlets. When alerts are received, take shelter indoors, tune into a local media station, and take the appropriate action. Advance warning can save lives.

The next regular monthly test is scheduled for noon on Wednesday, Sept. 3.
