Hall County Central Communications/E911 will conduct an audible test of the severe weather warning system Wednesday morning about 10:00.  The sirens will sound for approximately three minutes. 

Sound tests 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. Other than these previously announced tests, all sirens should be considered to be an actual tornado warning. 

Hall County's Warning System is tested silently every Wednesday at 10 a.m.
 
Meanwhile, county officials continue to urge citizens to sign up for the Hall County Citizen's Alert System, which will also be tested Wednesday morning.  The Citizen's Alert System notifies residents about severe weather, fires, floods, toxic environmental issues and other important topics within minutes. Messages can be sent to individuals using a variety of methods - cell phone, landline, email, text messaging and more. Anyone listed in the County's 911 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.
