A full volume test of the new alert and notification sirens located
throughout the emergency planning zone will be held Thursday, October 22,
2009 at approximately 10:30 a.m. The sirens will sound for four minutes.
The siren system may be tested for sound again in the afternoon at 1:00 p.m.
if an additional test is determined to be needed during the morning
sounding.
In an actual emergency, the new sirens would sound simultaneously at full
volume for four minutes. The sirens are not a signal to evacuate but rather
to alert the public to tune to their local Emergency Alert System (EAS)
radio or television station (100.7 FM-WHUD) for important information.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Fire & Emergency Services at
1-800-942-1450, should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Nicholas A. Longo, Jr.
