The City of Temple will participate in a statewide emergency alert test on Thursday, April 2, at 10 AM.

During this test, residents may receive multiple alerts, including:
• Outdoor warning sirens (tornado sirens) sounding across the city
• Wireless Emergency Alerts on your phone
• Alert Temple (CodeRED) notifications
• Alerts from schools or other organizations

Regular testing helps ensure emergency notification systems work properly when they are needed most.

What you can do:
• Take a moment to review your personal and work emergency plans
• Make sure your contact information is up to date for alert systems like Alert Temple (CodeRED)

Please remember, this is only a test. Alerts across Bell County are expected at 10:00 AM and may continue through 12:30 PM. If you have questions during the testing, you can contact our Customer Care team at 254-298-5000.
