NASA GLENN CONDUCTS COMPREHENSIVE TEST OF OUTDOOR SIREN AND PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM

CLEVELAND -- NASA's Glenn Research Center will test its outdoor mass 
notification and public address system at Lewis Field on Saturday, 
September 19, between 9 a.m. and noon. During this period, several 
tests will be conducted of the warning siren and voice messaging 
system. 

While the warning system is meant to alert center employees in the 
event of an emergency, the sound may also be audible in the 
neighborhoods surrounding NASA Glenn. 

The center's outdoor mass notification system is used to warn 
employees and visitors of severe weather, workplace incidents and 
emergencies.
