The City of Brownwood will partner with the Texas Division of Emergency Management to participate in a statewide test of emergency alerting systems on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 11:15 a.m.

As part of this test, the City will conduct a test of its CivicReady emergency notification system, and outdoor warning sirens may also be activated.

During the testing window, you may receive a text alert on your cellphone, an email, or a call to your home phone, depending on your notification preferences. Because multiple jurisdictions are participating, some individuals may receive more than one test alert.

This is only a test. No action is required.

Testing is an important part of ensuring emergency alert systems function properly during real emergencies.
