Severe weather sirens tested each month, unless inclement weather in the area

The Severe Weather Warning Sirens are tested the first Wednesday of every month between noon and 2 p.m., unless there is threatening weather. If there is threatening weather on the test day, the sirens will not be tested; therefore, if you hear sirens, it will be an actual warning.
The Severe Weather Warning Sirens are activated if there is a tornado warning or if a severe thunderstorm is issued while we are under a tornado watch. If you hear the sirens, you should take shelter. The sirens may be activated more than once and they are not used to sound all clear.
