The testing will run between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Blue Valley Public Safety will be on hand to conduct the individual siren checks, and officials want the public to understand the soundings are not malfunctions and that no emergency is occurring.
Officials also reiterated guidance that outdoor warning sirens are intended for outdoor warning only and are not designed to be heard inside homes or businesses. They urged residents to use other methods for weather alerts, including EAS alerts on a phone, NOAA Weather Radio, or an app that delivers alerts such as the KMBC 9 News app.
KMBC 9 reported the city’s warning about the siren testing schedule and what residents should expect.
