Full-volume testing of the Museum Fire/Spruce Wash flood area siren alerting system was rescheduled for Tuesday, June 10 at 1 p.m. due to weather.
The testing will confirm the proper functioning of the sirens ahead of monsoon season.
During the testing, residents in the area will hear an alarm sound, followed by a voice message repeated three times in English, Spanish and Navajo, concluding with a wind down siren sound signifying the end of that message. This process may repeat several times during the testing period.

The Museum Fire flood area siren alerting system was installed in 2022 in the Grandview Homes and Sunnyside neighborhoods of Flagstaff to alert residents of an imminent danger of flash flooding. The system is a supplemental alerting system to provide additional notice of imminent danger to residents and does not replace the Emergency Notification Alert text messages.
Testing may be postponed in the event of rain or smoke in the area. For questions, contact Daniel Kelly, City of Flagstaff Emergency Program Manager at [email protected].
