SUMMARY:Siren Test Monitoring – WC Outdoor Warning System
DESCRIPTION:The Williamson County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has requested WCARES assistance in monitoring the monthly Outdoor Warning System siren tests. These tests are conducted on the 1st Saturday of every month at 1:00 p.m. local time.\nThe County has created a siren selection and reporting website; the link is below.\nEach siren has been assigned a number. Sirens numbered 1 through 99 are located in unincorporated areas of the County and in Fairview and Nolensville. Sirens numbered 200 through 299 are in Brentwood. WCARES is not monitoring sirens in Franklin proper which are numbered 100 through 199.\nNOTE: WCARES is only monitoring sirens numbered 1 through 99 and 200 through 299; we are not monitoring sirens numbered 100 through 199 which are in Franklin proper.\nPlease consider signing up, traveling to a County siren location, monitoring and reporting the results of the siren test.\nTo sign-up to monitor a siren, please follow this link:\nCounty “Select Siren” website (not a WCARES website)\nOn that website, the available sirens to test are sorted by date last tested, with the sirens tested longest ago, appearing at the top. Selecting the name of the siren (e.g. Siren 19) will zoom the map to that specific siren location so you can see where it is; selecting “Click To Sign Up” will take you to the page for entering your contact information for monitoring that specific siren.\nYou will receive an e-mail after you submit the sign-up form; this e-mail will contain a link to a web-based survey form for your selected siren. Use this form to report whether the siren went off, at what time and for how long etc.\nThere will typically be an announcement on the WCARES repeaters at noon (an hour before the siren test) to confirm whether the testing is going ahead or has been canceled for that day. The siren tests may be canceled due to weather or other events.\nFor more information on county alert systems, refer to the Williamson County Alert Systems website.\nRemember to check your e-mail for the link to the survey to report the results of your monitoring.\n
