Kent County Begins Year-Round Siren Testing
Beginning last Friday, Kent County is now testing our outdoor warning sirens at noon on the first Friday of every month year-round. Previously, testing occurred only from April through October.
The change supports a major modernization project by our Emergency Management team which will improve system reliability, monitoring, and emergency response. Upgrades will also allow public safety officials to activate sirens in more targeted geographic areas during severe weather or other emergencies. Residents are reminded that outdoor warning sirens are designed to alert people who are outdoors and should always be paired with other emergency notification methods.
Read the full press release about the new warning siren schedule and technology here.
