Siren Test Day

Today is the last Friday of the month which means today is the day we test our outdoor warning sirens and indoor warning systems including the cable-cut in warning system at 11:30 AM, weather permitting.

Amarillo/Potter/Randall Office of Emergency Management currently operates over 85 outdoor warning sirens that are designed to alert people who are outdoors of a potential emergency in the community. Outdoor Warning Sirens are NOT designed to be heard indoors. In the event of an emergency, the Office of Emergency Management will activate the Outdoor Warning Sirens on a steady tone for 5 minutes. When sounded, you should immediately move to shelter and listen to local radio or television stations for emergency warning information.

Want to listen to some of our sirens? Kdksiren, a local siren enthusiast, has compiled several videos of sirens located throughout Amarillo. Check them out here.
