Emergency Warning System Updates: Tornado Siren Testing and Procedures

The Emergency Warning System in Ionia County has undergone recent enhancements, leading to changes in tornado siren testing procedures. Tornado siren testing will now take place year-round, every Saturday at noon, conducted by Ionia County Central Dispatch. However, testing will be suspended in the event of severe weather conditions.

It is important to note that if you hear the tornado siren at any other time, it indicates that a tornado warning has been issued for the area. In such cases, immediate action should be taken to seek shelter and ensure personal safety.
