NEW SIREN SYSTEM – LIVE TEST SATURDAY, AUGUST 26TH AT NOON.
The first live test of the new outdoor emergency siren system is scheduled to take place this Saturday, August 26th at noon. The sirens have a different alert tone than previous systems and may sound significantly louder to some citizens.
The new siren system includes red lights on top of the pole that strobe during an emergency to alert the Deaf community and citizens who are hard of hearing about an emergency activation.
Siren tests are conducted each Saturday at noon by Deer Park, La Porte and Pasadena.
Deer Park siren tests last for 30 seconds. The sirens will sound for 3 minutes during an actual emergency that requires a shelter in place.
