Emergency sirens will be tested on Tuesday morning. The City of Taylorville will also be performing additional testing on its outdoor sirens.  You can expect the traditional siren test at 10 AM.  Sirens will run normally for approximately 3 minutes.  After the initial test, around 10:15, a second siren tone may be heard.  This will also run for approximately 3 minutes.  This tone may sound different than the first one at 10 AM.  

Taylorville recently had work done on its weather sirens and will be checking to make sure all components are working properly.  If there is a threat of any type of severe weather all tests will be cancelled and rescheduled at a later date. 

All testing is expected to be complete by 10:30 AM.
