A Community Alert is a message sent by local emergency management to share important information that isn’t always a weather warning. These alerts can include:

• Road closures
• Missing persons
• Boil water advisories
• Evacuations or shelter-in-place notices
• Community safety updates and more

Update: All sirens are functioning properly and testing is complete.

Outdoor Warning Siren Testing Notice

The computer system that controls the outdoor warning sirens has recently been replaced. Testing will be conducted today to ensure all sirens are functioning properly.

During testing, you may hear brief siren activations. These activations are part of the testing process and are not cause for alarm.

If you have any questions, please contact the Batesville Fire Department at (812) 934-2230. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
