Emergency Warning Siren Test
When:
Hours of Operation
Our annual emergency warning siren test will be happening at 12pm (noon) on Monday, May 6th. The siren will be activated for 4 minutes to check that the equipment is working properly. The warning siren will continue to be tested for a few seconds daily at noon.
The siren may sound when Altona is threatened by any hazard to alert anyone outdoors of a potential emergency and let them know to seek shelter. When the siren sounds for longer than 30 seconds, seek shelter and tune in to CFAM 950 AM on your radio to find out what the threat is, and how to protect yourself.
In case you are indoors during an emergency, be sure to sign up for emergency alert notifications to your email, cell phone, or landline through the Altona CONNECT system at www.altona.ca/p/emergency-management or by calling 204-324-6468.
