Outdoor Warning Siren Test
Friday June 6th, 2025 12:00pm

Greetings, Ottawa County Community...

This is a reminder from Ottawa County Emergency Management that an outdoor warning siren test will take place on FRIDAY, June 6 at 12:00 PM (noon).

These sirens are part of our emergency alert system and are designed to warn people who are outdoors of imminent threats, such as tornadoes, severe hail, hazardous materials incidents, or other life-threatening emergencies.

🔊 What to do if you hear a siren:

• If it is a test: Use the moment to think through your emergency plan. Where would you go? How would you stay informed?

• If it is not a test: Immediately go indoors and seek more information from trusted sources like weather radios, news stations, or emergency alert apps.

📢 Please remember: These are OUTDOOR warning sirens and are not meant to be your only form of notification. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive alerts, including:

• NOAA Weather Radio

• Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) on your smartphone

• Local news and weather apps

• Ottawa County Emergency Management updates

We encourage all residents to use this test as an opportunity to review their emergency plans and make sure they're ready for whatever comes our way.
