Ingham Co. to test emergency alert systems, tornado sirens
Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton counties will send out a test cellphone alert next Wednesday at 12:59 p.m., just ahead of the voluntary statewide tornado drill at 1:00 p.m., to make sure the system is functioning properly.
According to Ingham County Emergency Mangement, the message will read:
TEST TEST TEST: This is a TEST of your phone's Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system. Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties and the City of Lansing are sending this TEST as part of Michigan's Severe Weather Awareness Week. You may also hear the outdoor warning (tornado) sirens activate as part of the Statewide Voluntary Tornado Drill. THIS IS ONLY A TEST!
You can sign up for Ingham County alerts for free at .
Ingham County Emergency Management encourages you to at least consider where you would shelter if a tornado was actually coming—and potentially go to that safe place during the drill.

Providence will retire its rarely-used emergency sirens, moving fully digital
'It could have actually further confused people,' Decerbo said in an interview with the Globe. The tragedy 'renewed the discourse about public alert and warning' across the country, she said.

Enter Email Sign Up 'Unless you are right next to it, and outdoors, you really can't tell what the person is saying,' Decerbo said. Indoors, it can only be heard within a half mile. And when the city conducted its regular tests of the sirens, people asked: 'what am I supposed to do when I hear a siren?' The city is now rolling out its new emergency alert plan starting Sept. 1, which includes decommissioning the sirens and streamlining the protocols for two types of digital alerts: one that comes to your phone automatically for life-threatening emergencies, and a second opt-in system for public information that is not life-or-death. Advertisement The recent Under the new operating procedure, a short list of people — including Decerbo, Mayor Brett Smiley, the fire and police chiefs and their deputies — can call the Rhode Island Emergency Management agency to send a Wireless Emergency Alert for a life-threatening emergency that requires an evacuation or shelter in place. (This system is already used for AMBER Alerts and National Weather Service warnings.) The city has pre-crafted messages in English and Spanish, which would then be pushed automatically to cellphones in the selected geographic area. Wireless emergency alerts should be turned on by default, though people can double-check in their phone settings that the sound is on so they can be woken up for a middle-of-the-night evacuation. (While reporting at the emergency management agency, a Globe reporter discovered she had silenced her own alerts.) The existing Clara Decerbo, Providence's emergency management director, can send a CodeRED alert from her computer. Steph Machado/Globe Staff The wireless alerts are useful in a life-threatening emergency like street flooding, for example, when the most dangerous place to be is in a car. Someone passing through Providence when flash flooding hits might not get a CodeRED alert, which is based on their address, but would get the wireless emergency alert. Advertisement While relying on cellphones is not a perfect system — power can go out, and phones can die — installing citywide sirens would be prohibitively expensive, Decerbo said, and still wouldn't solve the issue of residents deciphering what action to take if they hear a siren. Outdoor sirens are no longer considered a key component to emergency alert systems, especially outside of the tornado alley region in the central US, and civil defense sirens that once warned of air raids have been dismantled in most places. Once Providence decommissions its sirens, the only Rhode Island municipality that will still have them is Warren, a coastal town that installed two sirens for weather-related alerts several years ago. Brown University has its own private sirens, which were In Massachusetts, the only outdoor sirens still in use are in the towns within 10 miles of the Massachusetts also uses the Decommissioning the sirens will save Providence $20,000 to $30,000 a year in maintenance, plus the system was due for a pricey upgrade that would have cost $250,000, Decerbo said. Advertisement If something happened in the middle of the night, like the Texas flooding event, the backup plan to the phone alerts would be to send police and firefighters to evacuation areas and go door-to-door and use megaphones. The Texas flooding has prompted scrutiny over the warning system there, and concerns about cuts at the National Weather Service, which sends alerts about severe weather. Decerbo said she is 'very concerned' about national cuts to The city also contracts with meteorologist Steve Cascione, a former TV broadcaster, to help inform the city's emergency decisions. 'Texas is a really tragic and catastrophic example of how important public alert and warning is, and we want everyone to be aware of what we're doing,' Decerbo said. Steph Machado can be reached at

What is flash flooding, and how weather impacted the Hill Country of Texas flooding disaster
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Flash flooding has become a buzz word in the news lately after devastating flash floods in Central Texas, a region known as the Texas Hill Country, hit last week, killing more than 100 people. Flash flooding can happen anywhere and at any time. The National Weather Service (NWS) says that flash flooding is any type of flooding that starts to occur after 3 to 6 hours of heavy rainfall, often from thunderstorms. Flash floods are so dangerous because they combine the power of a flood with incredible speed. The flash floods in Texas caused the Guadalupe River to rise from 2 feet to more than 24 feet in as little as 45 minutes. Flash floods occur when the intensity of rainfall and the duration of the rain combined with environmental factors like topography, vegetation types and the soil water content level can determine how quickly flash flooding occurs. According to the NWS flash flooding is the number one storm related killer in the United States. The national 30-year average for flood deaths is around 127 people per year. The Associated Press stated that the Texas Hill Country is naturally prone to flash flooding events due to the dry dirt packed landscape that lets the rain 'skid along the surface of the landscape instead of soaking it up'. On top of that there was more moisture from the remnants of tropical storm Barry was over the area. Forecasting flooding events is extremely challenging because it's so hard to pinpoint an exact location where the flooding will happen. On top of that forecast models struggle with the set up that was unfolding in Texas, slow moving mesoscale convective complexes, and determining where the heavier bands set up. NWS offices had mentioned the flood risk in the forecast a day earlier and issued flood watches by Thursday, July 3rd. In a social media post NWS Austin/San Antonio said, 'local heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding.' Later that evening, the NWS upgraded the flood watch to a flood warning, and eventually a flash flood warning. Remember that a flood watch is used when the conditions are favorable for flooding but does not mean that it will occur. While a flood warning means that flooding is imminent or already happening. More than 3 trillion gallons of water had fallen across the region. Much of it surged into the Guadalupe River, officials state that the crest reached higher than the historic 1987 flood. Let's put that in perspective, 3 trillion gallons of water is equivalent to the amount of water used in every home in the United States for a year. It is also about 1.5 million Olympic swimming pools worth of water and is about the same amount of water that flows at Niagara Falls in a month. Can climate change be to blame for causing this flash flood in Texas? Well a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor which is how showers and storms are formed, the more water vapor present the heavier the rain can be. So while it is not the main cause it certainly can influence flooding impacts. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

How to protect yourself in dangerous floods: Weather alerts, maps and more
Deadly flooding in Texas, combined with the recent trauma from fatal Hurricane Helene flooding in East Tennessee, has prompted questions about warning signs during hazardous weather. The Texas flooding has left over 100 people dead and many more missing. The September flooding from Helene resulted in the deaths of 250 people across the South. In East Tennessee, 18 people died in the floods caused by Helene. Flash floods are the leading weather-related cause of death in the United States, the National Weather Service says. Ahead of the arrival of severe weather and resulting floods, there are steps you can take to help protect yourself and your family. Your phone should receive wireless emergency alerts, which are emergency messages sent by local, state and federal public safety agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Communications Commission, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Weather Service. You don't have to sign up for the Wireless Emergency Alert service as they are automatically sent. To know if you receive emergency alerts, check with your wireless carrier. Another way to stay informed is to follow your county's emergency management agency on social media, where they regularly post information about hazardous conditions. For Knoxville and Knox County, follow the Knoxville-Knox County Emergency Management Agency Facebook page for regular updates. The National Weather Service provides 24/7 coverage and updates on hazards affecting all 50 states, as well as regular weather updates at The East Tennessee office is in Morristown. Experts often recommend buying a special weather radio, which is designed to receive certain emergency messages. They're available at a variety of online retailers and cost anywhere from $25 to over $100. If you're curious about water levels along a specific body of water, check the National Water Prediction Service at It shows anticipated water levels nationwide, including in East Tennessee. The Tennessee Valley Authority advises that if you live in a flood-prone area, you should check your local news and weather channels for the latest information. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has flood maps on which you can simply input your address in the search bar. Check it at Part of TVA's mission is to prevent flooding in the Southeast. It manages the 652-mile Tennessee River with nine dams. But its work has limitations. Water systems that TVA does not control, such as creeks and streams, are the ones most likely to flood, TVA spokesperson Scott Brooks said. You can find a map of each facility and its controlled water systems on the TVA website at Click on the water body nearest you to learn more. During Hurricane Helene, stretches of rivers that did not have dams were hit the hardest, such as the French Broad, Nolichucky and Pigeon rivers. ArcGIS, a geographic information system, shows regions of East Tennessee and their flood potential. Some areas have higher chances of flooding than others, such as: Boone Lake and South Fork Holston River near Johnson City Douglas Lake near the Great Smoky Mountains Hord Creek-Holston River and Bradley Creek-Holston River near Kingsport Painter Spring Branch-South Fork Holston River in Sullivan County Richland Creek-Nolichucky River in Greene County Knox County does not have outdoor weather sirens, nor did the communities in central Texas where the deadly flooding occurred in early July. Emergency management experts have advocated adding sirens for riverfronts that are known for flash floods. The question of whether sirens are an effective way to raise the alarm for floods and other natural disasters is nuanced. They are predominantly used to alert people who are in immediate danger outdoors. "Sirens are still the most effective method to warn the population at large in the shortest amount of time," the Boone County Office of Emergency Management in Missouri said. Floods, especially flash floods, are particularly dangerous because water levels are unpredictable and can rise in unexpected ways. Flash floods can occur in minutes during heavy rainfall, and they can be triggered by dam or levee breaks. Mountains and steep hills produce rapid runoff that, combined with saturated soil, are a recipe for disaster. There are several ways a person can lose their life when caught in a flood: Drowning is the leading cause of death in a flood. It only takes 6 inches of fast-moving water to knock down an adult, according to the National Weather Service. People often die in a flood when their car is swept away. Debris can cause death or injury in floods. Downed power lines can create an electrocution hazard. Hypothermia can cause death if the temperature of the water and the environment are not sufficient to maintaining a person's body heat. Contaminated water and pathogens can cause people to get sick, increase the risk of infections and be dangerous for those with compromised immune systems or people unable to get medical care.
