The monthly test of the Community Alert Sirens will be conducted on the first Wednesday of every month at approximately 11:30 a.m.
THIS IS ONLY A TEST !
The monthly test is described as follows: One-minute “all-clear chimes” will precede and follow a two-minute “siren tone.” Total testing time will not exceed five minutes. It is important to note that the “siren” tone carries a greater distance. It may be heard in areas beyond the reach of the “chime.”
During a real emergency, when you hear the sirens, “Shelter. Shut. Listen.”
Shelter in Place means to:
If at home:
- Go indoors;
- Close all vents, windows and doors;
- Listen for instructions on local cable and radio.
If driving:
- Continue driving;
- Close windows and vents;
- Turn your radio to 1620 AM CitiSOUNDS.
If in a parked car:
- DO NOT start the engine;
- Close windows and vents;
- Turn your radio to 1620 AM CitiSOUNDS.
Listen for the “chimes” sound that will signal the “all clear.
