Outdoor Warning Siren Testing Today in Lexington

April 19, 2022

Lexington Emergency Management will test its network of outdoor warning sirens TODAY, Wednesday, April 20, 2022, at 10 am. 

Note: The test was postponed for two weeks due to the forecast of inclement weather.

If you live near a park or golf course, expect to hear the outdoor siren sound a series of chimes followed by a voice announcement, “This is a test.”

This is a regularly scheduled test – THERE IS NO EMERGENCY – THIS IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY.  Please do not call 9-1-1 about the siren test.

Remember: Lexington’s outdoor siren system is designed to alert people who are outdoors. The siren system is not intended to alert persons inside homes, apartments, or office buildings.
