Aurora, Colorado, to do audible Whelen test on May 15.

[Robert Gift]

"The Aurora Office of Emergency Management will conduct a test of the Audible Outdoor Warning System at 11 a.m. May 15.
The test ensures that the warning systems are ready when needed and that the public is aware of the operation of the siren.
A three minute ?wail? tone will be heard over the siren system and will continue as the outdoor siren rotates the speakers in all four directions to adequately cover the surrounding areas.
At the completion of the test, a 30-second ?whoop? tone from the sirens will be heard. There will be no voice heard during the test."

"Early Warning Systems are tools that alert you to impending danger so you can take appropriate protective action and/or provide you with updates and further information.

OUTDOOR WARNING SIRENS
The City of Aurora has an ALL-HAZARD siren system consisting of 39 outdoor warning sirens. The siren system is activated for any type of hazard that could seriously affect the population of Aurora. In the event the sirens are activated, citizens will hear a three minute wailing tone and will need to seek shelter. If you are indoors, do not go outdoors to see the weather when the sirens sound. You should tune into radio or television and listen of official announcements or information concerning the emergency. At the end of the threat, the sirens will sound with a 30 second Whoop tome to signify the All-Clear. The City of Aurora tests the sirens twice per year in the Spring and the Fall. Information on when these tests will occur can be found in the Sentinel, the Water Bill, or the News for Neighbors flyer."

Aurora is seeking people to adopt a siren and report if their siren operated.
This Whelen 3016 closest to me,

is already adopted. Another they would like me to adopt is too far away.
