Darke County EMA
Correction to previous Outdoor Warning Siren press release 

If a warning has been issued or a tornado has been spotted in the county ONLY sirens in the impacted area will be activated. This will eliminate any confusion in other parts of the county that are not experiencing inclement weather. 

The Sheriff will activate the impacted area’s outdoor weather siren when the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning for the area that the siren serves. 

The project of activating outdoor warning sirens from the Darke County Emergency Communications Center located at the Sheriff’s Office is now complete. Some residents in county Villages will notice a change in testing of these sirens. 

Beginning June 3, 2013 sirens located in Ansonia, Arcanum, Ithaca, Bradford, Burkettsville, Gettysburg, New Madison, Wayne Lakes, North Star, Rossburg, Union City, Versailles, and Eldora Speedway will be tested the first Monday of every month at noon. 

If inclement weather is occurring and/or is forecast to occur that day, the monthly test will be postponed until the following month. This decision will be made at the discretion of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office Administration. The City of Greenville will continue to activate their own sirens however, a back-up activation point has been added to the Darke County Emergency Communications Center.
