Troy, IL – Residents in Troy may hear additional tornado sirens Wednesday morning, November 5, as city crews and technicians conduct follow-up testing after a siren malfunctioned during Monday’s routine safety check.
According to the Troy Illinois Police Department, one of the city’s outdoor warning sirens did not operate properly during the scheduled monthly test. Technicians are expected to be on site Wednesday around 9 a.m. to inspect, repair, and retest the system.
The department emphasized that the sirens will only be part of a test and that there is no severe weather threat at this time. The additional test aims to ensure all sirens are fully operational ahead of the winter storm and severe weather seasons.
City officials are encouraging residents not to be alarmed if they hear the sirens sound again Wednesday morning. Residents should also use the opportunity to review their household emergency plans and make sure they can receive multiple alerts in case of an actual weather emergency.
