LaGrange County 911 Plan Tornado Siren Test Tuesday Morning
Monday, March 18, 2019


The LaGrange County Sheriff’s Office 911 Center will conduct an outdoor warning siren test Tuesday, March 19, at 10:15 a.m. as part of a statewide communication systems test during Severe Weather Preparedness Week in Indiana, which is this week. If severe weather is in the area, the test will be postponed to Wednesday, March 20.

During an actual Emergency, residents and businesses should immediately respond to the outdoor warning sirens by taking cover, along with their pets, in designated storm-resistant locations, and continue to monitor sources for emergency information.

The LaGrange County Sheriff’s Office tests outdoor warning sirens every Saturday at noon to make sure that they are functioning and make repairs if needed, so we are ready during an emergency.

Other participating agencies on Severe Weather Preparedness Week will be the National Weather Service, in conjunction with the Indiana State Police, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, the Indiana Department of Education, the Indiana Broadcasters Association, the American Red Cross, and Amateur Radio Operators.
