There will be several tests of the tornado warning sirens in Salem, Centralia, as well as other parts of Marion County at ten Thursday morning.
Marion County Emergency Management Agency Coordinator Andrew Strong said there were some technical issues during the Tuesday morning test. He reports they were worked out, but with tornado season upon us, he felt another test to confirm operation was best.
Strong notes that the sirens can be set off in several different ways, and all will be tested on Thursday morning. He believes all the sirens are working.
Strong reminds everyone to have multiple ways to receive severe weather warnings and to have a plan of action if a severe storm is approaching.
