Scarborough residents who hear a loud whooping sound early Saturday evening should not be alarmed.
There will be a community emergency siren test in the city’s east end, near the West Hill neighbourhood, around 5 p.m., Toronto police have advised.
Residents can expect to hear a “whoop, whoop” tone for about two minutes. This will be followed by five minutes of silence.Residents are being asked to shelter in place when they hear the sirens. This means individuals should close all their doors and windows, shut off ventilation systems, and turn on their local radio, television or social media for further instructions.
The sirens are designed to be loud enough to be heard within 1 kilometres of the signal locations Dow and Lanxess, officials say.Officials noted that depending on weather conditions like wind and cloud coverage, people outside the radius may also hear the sirens. Once the all-clear signal has been sounded, residents can leave their homes and “return all house settings to normal use.”
There will be a siren test on Saturday, June 17th at 5:00pm that will be heard in the West Hill and surrounding communities. Please see the attached flyer for further information.
