Adams County plans outdoor warning siren test

Adams County plans to conduct a test of its outdoor warning sirens, an event reported by The Berne Witness.

The test concerns the county’s outdoor warning siren system. No date or time for the test is stated in the available announcement, and no additional instructions for residents are included.

What the test involves

Outdoor warning sirens are used to alert people who are outside during an emergency. A test is different from an emergency warning, but the announcement identifies this event only as an outdoor warning siren test.

Residents will need to watch for additional information from Adams County about when the test will occur and how the county will identify it as a test.

What residents should watch for

The key details still to watch for are the testing date, the testing time and any instructions from Adams County. Those details will help residents understand when the sirens are being tested and what action, if any, the county expects during the test.
