Due to inclement weather, the Boulder County Office of Emergency Management siren testing scheduled for May 2, 2022 has been canceled. Testing will be rescheduled. 

 -----------------

The Boulder County Office of Emergency Management will be conducting siren testing on Monday May 2, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. All sirens in the system will be activated. Should Boulder County experience severe weather during one of the planned audible tests, the siren tests for that day may be cancelled. 

The outdoor emergency sirens system warns community members about weather-related emergencies, and depending on programming, hazardous materials and wildfires. Sirens are meant to reach people that are outside, not indoors.

The annual siren testing is a good reminder for community members to sign up for emergency alerts at: http://boco911alert.com. This system allows all community members in Boulder County to be notified of emergency situations in a variety of ways including on their cell phone, home, work phones, text messaging, and email.

Community members are encouraged to review their own emergency preparedness plans and discuss what they would do in the event an emergency.
