Are the primary method of emergency notification to the residents of Freeport. They will be used for any emergency, natural or man-made, that requires immediate notification to  Village residents.

Sirens sound for one of three reasons:

12 noon on Saturdays  - weekly test

Top of each hour - an emergency notification is going out to residents. All residents should call the Emergency Management Hotline at 377-2400 or tune their radios to 1690 AM for important information. 

Every 10 minutes - an emergency evacuation is in progress. Listen to officials, and if you are told to evacuate, do so immediately for your own safety.
