🚨 OUTDOOR WARNING SIREN TEST – DATE CHANGE 🚨

Jackson County EMA will conduct the monthly outdoor warning siren test on:

🗓 Tuesday, May 5, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM

⚠️ This is ONLY a test. No action is required.

---

# # # ⚡ WHY THE CHANGE?
We are moving the test up one day due to the potential for severe weather on Wednesday, May 6.

Running the test during an active or possible severe weather day creates unnecessary confusion. If sirens sound on a severe weather day, the public needs to assume it is a real warning and take immediate action—not question whether it’s a test.

This adjustment ensures:
- ✅ Clear, no-confusion warning messaging
- ✅ Operational readiness ahead of possible severe weather
- ✅ Public trust in the system when it matters most

# # # 🧠 REMEMBER
Outdoor warning sirens are designed to alert people OUTDOORS.
Have multiple ways to receive warnings, especially indoors:
- NOAA Weather Radio
- Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA)
- Trusted weather apps

Stay weather aware this week. Situations can change quickly.
Preparation now eliminates hesitation later.

For the first time in 22 years no tornado warnings and zero confirmed tornadoes for the entire state in the month of April. A lot has to do with the drought and lack of storms in general. Let’s hope the rain keeps coming in May but the severe storms stay away.

📢STATEWIDE FIRE ALERT REMAINS IN EFFECT📢

Statewide Fire Danger is HIGH today!
The Northern half of the state is classified as a High Fire Danger, while the Southern half has increased to a Very High Fire Danger classification.

We continue to urge everyone to avoid outdoor burning as we remain in drought conditions.

For clarity - this is not a ban on outdoor burning. This is a public notice to increase awareness of the drought conditions. As always, if you are burning over a .25 of an acre, you must obtain a burn permit from AFC's dispatch center.
