Dexter Township to conduct outdoor siren test at noon

Unlike other towns in the county with outdoor sirens, Dexter Township is expected to continue conducting tests of its Outdoor Warning System at noon on the first Saturday of each month through February.

These tests will be conducted separate from the remainder of Washtenaw County’s warning sirens, which are tested monthly from March through September.

Except for scheduled testing, the sirens will be activated for the following emergencies:

• The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning

• A severe thunderstorm has been detected with damaging winds in excess of 70 MPH

• A hazardous materials accident requires immediate protective action by the public

• An attack on the United States is imminent, underway or has recently occurred

Warning siren activation is a signal to members of the public to immediately go indoors and monitor local Emergency Alert System media outlets for official information. Washtenaw County’s emergency broadcasters are:

WEMU 89.1 FM

WWWW 102.9 FM

WQKL 107.1 FM

WTKA 1050 AM

WLBY 1290 AM

Please contact Dexter Township offices at 426-3767 with any questions or concerns.
