Hall County to test severe weather warning system Wednesday

By AccessWDUN staff
Hall County plans an audible test of the county's severe weather warning system Tuesday morning around 10:00.
 
The test will not be conducted if there is a severe weather watch or warning in effect for Hall County. The tornado sirens are tested using the wail alert tone once every three months - and the test will last about three minutes.  The system is tested silently every Wednesday at 10:00 a.m.
 
Meanwhile, the county will also test the emergency mass notification system Wednesday morning.  The Hall County Citizen's Alert System notifies residents about severe weather, fires, floods, toxic environmental issues and in-process violent crimes within minutes. Messages can be sent to individuals using a variety of contact mechanisms - cell phone, landline, email, text messaging and more - ensuring that county residents receive life-saving emergency information and important public service announcements in minutes.
 
Anyone listed in the County's 9-1-1 database has been automatically subscribed to alerts by landline, though any individual may self-register, provide additional contact information or opt out. To sign up or learn more, log onto alerts.hallcounty.org.

Any questions or concerns should be directed to the administrative offices of Hall County Central Communications/E9-1-1 at 770-531-6765.
