The tornado siren on Kearns Circle is back to operational and siren testing for today is over.
🚨 Siren Test Today – Walker Park / Kearns Circle Area 🚨
Repairs on the outdoor warning siren near Walker Park / Kearns Circle are nearly complete, and crews will be conducting a test of the siren today to make sure everything is working properly.
If you hear the siren during the test, there is no cause for alarm — it will only be a brief test following maintenance.

💙💚 Blue & Green Day Proclamation 💚💙
Mayor Barry L. Akin made a proclamation at this month’s Board of Mayor & Alderman meeting for Blue & Green Day, helping shine a light on the incredible impact of organ and tissue donation.
Behind every donation is a story of generosity, hope, and lives changed. Because of donors and their families, countless people have been given a second chance at life. At the same time, thousands of people across the Mid-South are still waiting for that life-saving call.
The Town of Atoka is proud to support the work of the Mid-South Transplant Foundation and encourages our community to take a moment this month to learn more, have conversations with loved ones, and consider registering as an organ donor.
In a hometown like Atoka, looking out for one another is what we do best — and sometimes that care can make a life-saving difference.

❤️ The Town of Atoka Fire Department has added a new feature to the Safe Haven Baby Box located at Fire Station #1 — a firefighter flag wrap installed on the backside of the box.
This addition provides extra privacy for parents during a surrender, helping ensure they can remain completely anonymous while safely placing a newborn in the Safe Haven Baby Box.
The Safe Haven Baby Box offers a secure, climate-controlled, and anonymous option for parents who need a safe place for their newborn, and this added privacy measure helps make that process even more discreet and compassionate.
We are grateful to our firefighters for continuing to look for ways to protect both babies and families in difficult moments.

⚠️ Kearns Circle Warning Siren Update ⚠️
We’re aware that the warning siren near Kearns Circle has been experiencing some operational issues, and a service call is already scheduled for this week to have it inspected and repaired.
With storms expected in the area today, we want to remind everyone not to rely solely on hearing the outdoor warning sirens for weather alerts. These sirens are designed to be heard outdoors, and they are not always reliable for indoor notification.
Please make sure you have multiple ways to receive severe weather alerts, such as:
📱 Weather apps or emergency alerts on your phone
📻 Local news and weather stations
📡 NOAA Weather Radio
📲 The Town of Atoka mobile app for local notifications
Additionally, all scheduled tornado siren testing will be suspended today due to the threat of severe weather.
Your safety is our top priority. Please stay weather aware today and take a moment to make sure your alert systems are set up and ready. ⛈️

If you haven’t downloaded the new Town of Atoka app, now would be a really good time.
Why? Because Mother Nature appears to be feeling a little dramatic today. 🌩️
According to the National Weather Service, we could see scattered severe storms moving through the Mid-South today, with the possibility of damaging winds, heavy rain, hail, and even a few tornadoes before things clear out tonight.
The good news?
Our new app sends instant notifications straight to your phone when important things happen — like weather alerts, road closures, and other town updates.
Even better news?
You don’t have to rely on social media to stay informed. If Facebook disappears into the algorithm abyss… the app will still have your back.
📲 Download the Town of Atoka app and turn on notifications today.
Because when the weather gets spicy, we’ll make sure you know about it.

The Town of Atoka spent time in Nashville this week attending the Tennessee Municipal League Legislative Conference, where municipal leaders from across the state gather to discuss issues impacting our towns and cities and advocate for local communities at the Capitol.
While there, our team had the opportunity to meet with Senator Paul Rose and Representative Debra Moody to share Atoka’s input and discuss upcoming legislation that could affect municipalities like ours. These conversations help ensure that Atoka, and communities like it, have a voice in decisions being made at the state level.
We appreciate the opportunity to represent our town, connect with leaders from across Tennessee, and continue working together to support strong, thriving communities.

👏🚧Can we give a big shoutout to our Public Works Department? 👏🚧
After the snow and ice did their best to leave their mark on our parking lots, our crew jumped right in to get things smoothed back out and looking good again. Because around here, we don’t just wait for spring to fix winter’s attitude. ❄️➡️☀️
They’re also addressing a sinkhole forming near the Police Station -because apparently the ground decided it needed attention too. No big deal… just another day of keeping Atoka solid from the ground up.
The silver lining? At least it’s a beautiful day outside to tackle these projects. Sunshine makes everything a little better — even parking lot repairs and surprise sinkholes. ☀️
Thank you to our Public Works team for staying on top of the little things (and the not-so-little things) that keep our Town safe, functional, and looking great. We appreciate the hard work you put in — even when the weather (and the earth itself) try to test you.

Dumpster available at Pioneer Park Friday, April 17th – Thursday, April 23rd.
Your garage called.
It said, “We need to talk.” 😬
Good news, Atoka — we’re bringing in a dumpster for Earth Day to help you finally deal with that pile you’ve been stepping over since 2019.
That’s a whole week to clean out the shed, the garage, the “I’ll deal with it later” corner… you know the one.
Let’s keep Atoka looking good, feeling fresh, and maybe even make a little room for that next Amazon delivery. 😉
🚫 Now listen… do NOT toss:
• Tires
• Hazardous waste (paint, oil, chemicals, etc.)
• Batteries
• Mattresses
• Appliances
• Electronics (TVs, computers, etc.)
• Construction or demolition debris
More details coming soon, but for now — mark your calendar and start making that “keep or toss” pile.

Mayor Barry Akin had the opportunity to visit Atoka Elementary School and spend time with the Student Council — and what a great visit it was!
Mayor Akin shared how local government works right here in the Town of Atoka, what a typical day looks like as Mayor, and some of the challenges and successes that come with serving our community. From budgets and public safety to roads and parks, students got a behind-the-scenes look at how decisions are made and how teamwork keeps our town running.
He even showed his school spirit by wearing his official Student Council shirt — because when you’re meeting with leaders, you’ve got to dress the part!
The students were incredibly interactive, asked thoughtful and insightful questions, and showed a genuine interest in how they can make a difference — both now and in the future. It’s always encouraging to see young leaders so engaged and eager to learn!
Thank you to Atoka Elementary for the warm welcome and to the Student Council for being such outstanding representatives of your school. The future of Atoka is bright! 🌟🏫 #AtokaTN #FutureLeaders #CivicEngagemen
