      Columbiana County EMA »  Siren Activations

Notification of an Emergency

If there is an emergency, you will be warned in one or more ways and you will be informed of the protective action(s) to take. Early warning sirens are located in many parts of Columbiana County. A steady, high pitched tone of the siren for three minutes which may be repeated means that you should turn on the radio or television to a local station for information on what to do.

Emergency information will be broadcasted by the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
Do not call local police/fire unnecessarily.

In other areas, emergency services vehicles with loud speakers may travel through the affected neighborhoods to provide emergency warning. If you hear a warning through this method, turn your radio or TV station to listen to the EAS for instructions. Cable TV stations serving some of our area will convey emergency “warnings” and/or general information to those households with cable TV service. NOAA weather radios are another means of learning about emergency conditions. They are available at local electronic stores.

The Emergency Alert System is activated by the key officials in our area and is used to provide emergency information and directions over local radio and TV stations as listed below. Remember, you are a source of information. Make sure your neighbors have been notified.
