Just a reminder as our new Outdoor Warning System is going, residents may hear them sounding briefly. No need to be alarmed as it is only a test. We will make the announcement once the construction process is complete.

No need for alarm, pardon the pun.

The Snyder Office of Emergency Management was testing the City’s new outdoor warning system today. The system is located at 37th Street and Avenue C, next to the Scurry County EMS building.

As part of the new system, residents may hear two different warning sounds:

• Continuous sound: Used for weather alerts
• Intermittent/wave sound: Used for fire warnings

Scurry County residents may hear these sounds over the next week as each new installation is tested. These tests are not an indication of an actual emergency.

We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the safety of our community. We will share more information in the future about what to do if an actual emergency occurs.

The City of Snyder’s Office of Emergency Management is introducing our new community warning system, designed to help alert residents when immediate action may be needed.

Our new system will use two different warning signals:

FIRE WARNING
A low-to-high pitched sound that is intermittent.

WEATHER WARNING
A continuous, high-pitched sound.

Knowing the difference between the signals can help you recognize what type of emergency is occurring and know when to seek additional information.

We’re working on getting video of the new warning system so you can hear the difference for yourself. Stay tuned

For more emergency preparedness information and local alerts, follow the Snyder Office of Emergency Management.

Outdoor burning is restricted until conditions improve and the Burn Ban is lifted. Remember, if you see smoke from a fire, call 911 and report the location!!!
