Findlay to Test 8 New Weather Alert Sirens on May 28

The City of Findlay will conduct a Weather Alert Preparedness Siren Test on 8 newly installed sirens next week.

The city maintains 16 outdoor warning sirens, which are intended to provide an audio alert for individuals who are outdoors and may not have immediate access to other forms of notification such as television, radio, or cell phones.

Recently, the city completed Phase 1 of a two-phase siren replacement project, replacing 8 of the 16 sirens with new upgraded systems.

Following the installation, 5 of the 8 newly installed sirens inadvertently activated without cause last month.

In response, a thorough evaluation of the equipment was conducted, and repairs are now completed.

They will be testing the 8 newly installed sirens on Wednesday, May 28th at 10:00 AM to make sure the sirens are running properly.

Those sirens are located on Blanchard Street, Tiffin Avenue, North Main, County Road, Western Avenue, County Road 140, Bright Road and Longmeadow Lane.
