This test will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 28 between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. During this time, sirens will sound at full-volume for approximately four minutes.

Because this is just a test, the public is not required to respond to the siren. In an actual emergency, the sirens would sound to alert the public to tune in to a local Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio or television station for important information and direction.
