Weekly Testing of Outdoor Warning Sirens to Resume (2020)

The audible testing of the outdoor warning sirens will resume at noon on Saturday, April 4, 2020.   It is requested that media partners share this message with the public in an effort to prevent unnecessary 911 phone calls.

Please remember the sirens are for outdoor warning only.  If you are waiting for the sirens to take action you are waiting too long.  No single piece of public warning technology is capable of alerting all people at all times.  Having a variety of warning tools provides redundancy and resilience.  Outagamie County Emergency Management recommends each residence have a NOAA weather radio which will alert you when severe weather is approaching. 

For more information on the NOAA weather radio and how to get one, contact the Outagamie County Emergency Management office at 920-832-5148.
