Just a heads up for those residents living in Mecosta and Newaygo Counties.

Consumers Energy announced the emergency public warning siren systems near its Rogers, Hardy and Croton hydroelectric generating plants on the Muskegon River will be tested on Thursday, August 18, at about 9 a.m.

The test will include a voice message, a 30-second siren and a second voice message. The public does not need to take any action during the test.

The siren systems are tested each August and December.
