Coconino and Yavapai County Emergency Management, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office and Sedona Fire District will test the emergency siren system in Oak Creek Canyon at 10-am next Thursday. The system is designed to notify Oak Creek Canyon and Uptown Sedona residents of severe emergencies that require evacuation. The sirens will be used when the National Weather Service issues a Flash Flood Warning for Oak Creek Canyon. If the sirens sound, anyone in the canyon is asked to stop what they’re doing and head for high ground. Area residents are also encouraged to register for emergency notifications through their county website.
