A construction crew contracted by the city has begun installation on a first-of-its-kind outdoor warning siren system.
The Outdoor Warning Siren (OWS) network, consisting of 12 outdoor sirens, is intended to be employed as a notification tool in the event of natural and manmade disasters, primarily for those who are outside when something dangerous happens. Such incidents could include wildfires, earthquakes, terrorism, severe weather and flooding due to water dam failure.
