Ionia County Central Dispatch will test the outdoor warning sirens on the first Saturday of each month at noon through the month of October. The first test will occur on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at Noon.

The sirens will not be tested if there is a threat of severe weather and storms are occurring or anytime when the weather conditions could cause confusion and unnecessary alarm for the citizens.

At any other time you hear the tornado siren, it means that a tornado warning has been issued for our area and you should seek shelter immediately.
