The combined Hartford/Slinger Siren System will only activate the sirens for the 1:45 p.m. test.  Please note that due to technical hurdles within the statewide warning system, like last year, there will not be test watch/warning messages sent out or test alerts sent to cell phones.

Please note the Hartford/Slinger combined siren system will activate with the issuance of the simulated warning during the afternoon (13:45) portion of the drill.  It is encouraged to everyone, at a minimum, to review your severe weather emergency preparedness procedures.
