🚨 SIREN TEST COMPLETE 🚨

The scheduled test has been completed, and the new tornado sirens purchased by the Village of Garrettsville are now officially in service.

These sirens are an important upgrade to our community warning system and are designed to alert people who are outdoors during severe weather and emergencies. They may not be heard inside homes or buildings.

We encourage everyone to have multiple ways to receive alerts, including weather radios and mobile notifications.

Thank you for your patience during testing as we continue working to keep our community safe.

04/15/2026

Multiple rounds of showers and storms are possible today. The best window for severe storms is between roughly 3 PM and 10 PM. All severe weather hazards are possible including damaging wind gusts, large hail, or a tornado.

🚨 SIREN TEST NOTICE 🚨

This Friday at 10:00 AM, we will be testing Garrettsville’s tornado siren system.

This is only a test. There is no emergency. This is weather permitting.

You may hear the siren sound briefly as we confirm everything is working properly.

The siren may go off more than one time and we will post here on Facebook when testing concludes!

Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve our community warning systems.
