Original Story:
The Hall County Government will perform an audible test for the area's severe weather system Wednesday at 10 a.m.
The county announced the test via social media on April 30, emphasizing that the alarm will sound for approximately three minutes.
The tornado sirens are tested using the wail alert tone once every three months. Other than previously announced tests, all sirens should be considered an actual tornado warning, according to the county.
"Hall County has severe weather threats, including tornadoes, during each month of the year," Director of Hall County Emergency Management Zach Brackett said. "Preparing for these threats before they happen allows for peace of mind and a safe approach to severe weather, and I encourage all Hall County residents to sign up for our Citizen’s Alert System to receive potentially life-saving notifications about severe weather in a timely fashion."
