On Monday, June 6, the outdoor siren system will be tested. Sirens will sound in Boulder, Erie, Lafayette, and Lyons. A silent test will be conducted in Eldorado Springs, Jamestown, Louisville, and Superior. The test will occur twice at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.
The outdoor emergency sirens system warns community members about weather related emergencies, and depending on programming, hazardous materials and wildfires. Sirens are meant to reach people that are outside, not indoors.
We encourage community members to sign up for emergency alerts at: http://boco911alert.com. This system allows all community members in Boulder County to be notified of emergency situations in a variety of ways including on their cell phone, home, work phones, text messaging, and email.
