Benton County To Test Sirens
WATAB TOWNSHIP -- Don't be alarmed if you hear sirens going off in Watab Township Wednesday.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office will be testing the civil defense sirens at 1:00 p.m. If there is potential for severe weather the test will be cancelled.
Sheriff Troy Heck says during the tests, it's a good time to review your own safety plan should severe weather occur.
