ICYMI: @JoCo_Emergency "will not be conducting the test of the outdoor warning siren system previously re-scheduled for Wed., Nov. 11 (today).” There's also no audible Olathe-only test.

DYK the siren system constantly monitors itself and does a silent test every morning too.

Today's monthly, countywide siren test is canceled and rescheduled for Wed., Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. Olathe-only test also rescheduled for Nov. 11 at 11:15 a.m. @OlathePolice @CityofOlatheKS

@OlathePolice @CityofOlatheKS Why do tests get postposed? Usually, 1 of 2 reasons:
➡ Extreme cold, freezing rain/drizzle icing might damage the equipment, or
➡there is severe wx (or potential severe wx) in the area and activating the system may cause confusion as to whether the activation is a real event.
