Morgan County, IN – Emergency officials have confirmed that all outdoor tornado sirens in Morgan County are currently offline following a technical malfunction reported Thursday morning.
According to the Morgan County Emergency Management Agency (EMA), the system failure affects all outdoor warning sirens across the county. The agency stressed that residents should not rely solely on outdoor sirens for severe weather warnings.
Until repairs are complete, residents are urged to use alternative alert methods, including NOAA Weather Radio, local news stations, and mobile weather apps. The EMA also encouraged sign-ups for Morgan Alert, a local notification system available at morgancoema.com/alerts.
Officials emphasized that multiple alert sources are essential, especially with the fall severe weather season underway. “Stay alert and have multiple ways to receive warnings,” the agency posted on social media, noting that updates will be issued once the sirens are restored.
The outage comes as parts of Indiana remain under fluctuating fall weather conditions, with storms possible later in the week.
