๐It is not necessary to be alarmed if Scarborough residents hear a loud whooping sound early on Saturday evening.
Toronto police have advised that a community emergency siren test will take place around 5 p.m. in the city's east end, near the West Hill neighborhood.
A two-minute "whoop, whoop" sound will be heard by residents. After this, there will be five minutes of silence.
After that, for about a minute, there will be a monotone "all clear" signal.
When the sirens sound, residents are being asked to stay put and shelter. As a result, individuals are advised to shut all windows and doors, turn off ventilation systems, and access local radio, television, or social media for additional instructions.
According to officials, the sirens are made to be loud enough to be heard within one kilometer of the signal locations Dow and Lanxess.
As a result, the sirens will be heard east of Morningside Avenue and south of Lawrence Avenue East.
Officials said that the sirens might also be heard by people outside the radius, depending on things like wind and cloud cover.
Residents are permitted to leave their homes and "return all house settings to normal use" after the all-clear signal has been sounded.โ
