Tippecanoe county Siren Test should take place this Saturday September 5th at 11am. Please consider observing a Siren of your choosing and reporting the operation of the siren selected. As a reminder, the Siren Test Go / No Go is not determined by TCARES. This is a decision of someone in Tippecanoe County government. We will be notified, and now, they are also posting this decision on Facebook.

Radio Net will start at 10:45am and end approximately at 11:15am.

Since it is Labor Day weekend, TCARES won’t have a net on Monday September 7th. Next scheduled net will be September 14th.

NWS SKYWARN Spotter Training calendar will be updated as they have sessions available with the dates and locations for 2023 / 2024 training across the state of Indiana. The calendar, dates and times may change. Link to NWS Indianapolis: https://www.weather.gov/ind/spotter.
