Lenawee County Emergency Management would like to inform the public of a planned, county-wide tornado siren test.  This is something done in advance of severe weather season in the interest of public safety.

On Thursday, March 19, 2026^, at 5:55 PM, many Lenawee County fire departments will conduct a coordinated county-wide tornado siren test.  If you don’t hear the siren in your area, do not call 911 or Emergency Management. Tornado sirens are managed locally, so please check with your community’s fire department for more information.

If the county or any part of the county is experiencing threatening weather at or near the time of the test, the test will be postponed to a different date. This date was chosen because March 19th is County Preparedness Day, which is a good reminder for all of us to be prepared in the case of severe weather.
