The City of Findlay maintains 16 outdoor warning sirens strategically located throughout the community. These sirens are intended to provide an audio alert for individuals who are outdoors and may not have immediate access to other forms of notification such as television, radio, or cell phones.

Recently, the City of Findlay completed Phase 1 of a two-phase siren replacement project, replacing 8 of the 16 sirens with new upgraded systems. The remaining 8 sirens are fully operational and scheduled for replacement in the future.

Following the installation, 5 of the 8 newly installed sirens inadvertently activated without cause last month. In response, the City of Findlay's internal team, along with the contractors responsible for the installation, conducted a thorough evaluation of the equipment and repairs are now completed.

We will be testing the 8 newly installed sirens on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM to make sure the sirens are operating properly. Please see the below list of sirens to be tested:

Siren 1 Blanchard \ Brookside Dr
Siren 2 Tiffin Ave \ FFD # 3
Siren 3 N. Main St. \ FFD 2
Siren 4 CR 99 \ Forest Trail
Siren 6 Western Ave \ Joy Ave
Siren 8 CR 140 \ SR 12
Siren 9 Bright Rd \ Bio Life
Siren 16 Longmeadow Ln

Please continue to be diligent by utilizing multiple sources of alerts and updates to stay prepared for any weather event or emergency situation. The preparedness, safety, and security of our community remain the City of Findlay's top priorities.
