The monthly Outdoor Warning Siren Test will take place on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 12:05 PM.

All three sirens will be activated during the test, located at:
* Paintsville Fire Department (Main Street)
* Foothills Communications (Staffordsville)
* Johnson County Senior Citizens Building (King Addition)

Please ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather alerts.
One important option is the Hyper-Reach mass notification system, which is free for residents of Paintsville-Johnson County, KY.

To sign up, call 606-220-2606 toll-free.

Please note that outdoor sirens alert only people outside in the area, usually 1-3 miles from the siren; they do not reach or alert those inside buildings.

Outdoor warning sirens are intended for people who are outside,
For example, people who may be:
At parks

Attending sporting events
Walking pets
Camping
Doing yard work
At festivals or outdoor gatherings

The goal is simple: alert people who may not have immediate access to television, smartphones, weather apps, or other alerting methods and give them enough time to seek shelter.
