CSEPP Siren Test Scheduled For Tuesday, January 25th
A test of the Oregon Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) siren system is scheduled for noon on Tuesday, January 25th . The test coincides with tests of CSEPP sirens on the Umatilla Chemical Depot and in Benton County, Washington.
The 76 sirens will begin the test with a verbal message in English and Spanish reminding people that it is only a test. The message will be followed by sounding of the Westminster chimes. In a chemical emergency, the sirens would blare a distinctly different alert tone for three-minutes followed by instructions in English and Spanish.
