The testing will be conducted between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Civil Defense said. These tests are to confirm the proper operation of newly installed equipment.
Residents in these areas may hear the siren sound multiple times during 30-second to 1-minute intervals. Testing will also include checks of the public address system and short blasts of the siren.
The public is reminded that the monthly siren test was conducted as planned on the first working day of each month. The public is reminded to monitor local radio broadcasts with siren soundings to receive additional information on the siren system activation.
