Sedgwick County Emergency Management is planning a different test for the outdoor warning sirens. The sirens are usually tested on Mondays at noon in an alert mode, which is a steady tone used for tornado warnings. The test on Monday, May 2nd will be in attack mode, which is a rising and falling tone. Deputy Emergency Management Director Jonathan Marr said the attack mode has a more traditional sound and it would be used during times of war or for enemy attack. He said the message with both modes is the same, urging people to take shelter and check with news sources to get warning information.
