Washington County Emergency Management wants to remind residents of the updated siren testing schedule. The test for the outdoor sirens will be on Wednesday at 11 am. Testing on a weekday will ensure that staff in each city can verify the functionality of the siren and notify the Communications Center immediately in the event of a failure or malfunction. Testing of the sirens has taken place on the last Saturday of each month for many years, but after much discussion amongst city and county officials, the scheduled tests will transition to take place on the first Wednesday of each month at 11:00 am.
