Albany News

Next Wednesday, July 11, the City of Albany will test the emergency warning siren at 12:00 noon, as it does the second Wednesday of every month.

The siren should sound one of the three emergency tones at noon on that day.  

The tests are used to make sure that the siren, computer, software, and radios are working correctly, as well as to keep citizens familiar with the warning sounds, but the test is not run if storms are in the area.

The three different tones signify severe weather, fire danger, and impending flooding.
