At 1 p.m. on Wednesday, the Oakland County Homeland Security Division will conduct a special test of the outdoor warning siren system. This special test is in recognition of Severe Weather Awareness Week.
Regular siren testing is the first Saturday of each month at 1 p.m., starting in March.
Throughout the month of April, maintenance work will be performed on all Oakland County Outdoor Warning Sirens. Once the work is completed at each siren, it will be tested for approximately 30 seconds to ensure that it is in proper working order; you may hear the normal siren sound, but just for a short burst.

This should not be confused with an actual activation of the outdoor warning sirens which lasts for 3 minutes. If you hear the sirens for the full 3 minute activation, seek shelter immediately and listen to a radio or television for more information.
