However, the sirens did not activate in Marion County on Tuesday.
According to officials with the Marion County Emergency Management, they said they were aware of reports indicating that the county’s sirens did not activate during the test.
The National Weather Service said that this test was part of Severe Weather Preparedness Week throughout the state of Indiana. A statewide test of communication systems occurred at 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday.
A news release from MCEM said that they have “engaged (the department’s) vendor to investigate the cause.”
“MCEM, in conjunction with the vendor, conducted another brief test of the system at 1:59 p.m. and the system was found to be functioning normally,” a release from the department read. “At this time, the vendor is continuing to investigate (potential) causes.”
The department said that regular siren tests are conducted each week to make sure that the system functions properly. Officials said that MCEM will conduct a “full-system test” at 11 a.m. on Friday, weather permitting.
“We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation as we work to maintain a dependable outdoor emergency warning system,” the release read.
