Jackson, Mich. (WKHM) — Jackson County Emergency Management has announced that they will conduct a routine test of their outdoor warning siren system on Saturday (February 7) at 12:00 p.m.
During this test, the county will activate both the primary siren system and the backup system to ensure all components are functioning properly.
County residents may hear the sirens during this time for a total of four minutes instead of two minutes, but officials clarify this is still only a test and no action is required.
Jackson County officials have scheduled this test ahead of the spring season, when severe storms are more likely, to help ensure the warning system is fully operational and ready to alert the public in the event of dangerous weather.
Residents are encouraged to take this opportunity to review their personal severe weather plans and ensure they have multiple ways to receive weather alerts.
For more information, residents may contact Jackson County Emergency Management at 517-768-7957.
