🚨 OUTDOOR WARNING SIREN TEST – DATE CHANGE 🚨

Jackson County EMA will conduct the monthly outdoor warning siren test on:

🗓 Tuesday, May 5, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM

⚠️ This is ONLY a test. No action is required.

---

# # # ⚡ WHY THE CHANGE?
We are moving the test up one day due to the potential for severe weather on Wednesday, May 6.

Running the test during an active or possible severe weather day creates unnecessary confusion. If sirens sound on a severe weather day, the public needs to assume it is a real warning and take immediate action—not question whether it’s a test.

This adjustment ensures:
- ✅ Clear, no-confusion warning messaging
- ✅ Operational readiness ahead of possible severe weather
- ✅ Public trust in the system when it matters most

# # # 🧠 REMEMBER
Outdoor warning sirens are designed to alert people OUTDOORS.
Have multiple ways to receive warnings, especially indoors:
- NOAA Weather Radio
- Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA)
- Trusted weather apps

Stay weather aware this week. Situations can change quickly.
Preparation now eliminates hesitation later.

This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. We would like to take a moment to recognize the voices behind the scenes—our dispatchers at Scottsboro Police Department and Jackson County Sheriff .
You are the calm in the chaos, the steady voice on the other end of the line, and the critical link between our community and first responders. Your dedication, professionalism, and compassion do not go unnoticed.
Thank you for everything you do, every call you answer, and every life you help impact. We are grateful for you today and every day.
