The monthly siren test will be just a little different this month due to repeat testing of short cycles.

EMA will be conducting the monthly siren test on Wednesday at 1200. The test was postponed from July 3rd due to weather.
The test will be 6-7 short activations.
In coordination with Sedalia Fire Department, Sedalia Police Department, Pettis County Fire District, Pettis County Ambulance District, Pettis County Sheriff's Office, 911 Joint Communications, and EMA volunteers, this test will enable all the sirens to be covered.

National Telecommunicators Week, is celebrated annually, during the second week of April, is a time to honor and recognize the vital role that 911 Dispatchers play in emergency services as the unsung heroes of public safety, the vital link between the public and responders, the voice you may hear, and the person you will likely never see.

The resilience, dedication, and heart of our dispatchers deserve recognition as they serve our communities 24/7, providing life saving instruction and reassurance during some of the most challenging moments some may ever face.
