Over 50 all-hazard sirens will be tested, and residents can hear a three-minute wailing sound with no voice during the test. Aurora audibly tests the sirens twice a year in March and November and silent tests the sirens weekly.
The purpose of these all-hazards sirens is to provide notice regarding an emergency situation, such as a tornado warning or hazardous-material spill, city officials said in a news release.
