MISSION
The outdoor warning siren system was established to provide early warning
to community residents in time of extreme danger such as severe weather
situations. Warning sirens are positioned at strategic locations throughout
the City to provide sound coverage for notification of emergency situations.
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
There are nine warning sirens located throughout the City. These sirens
are controlled by an activation system housed within the Brookings Police
Department’s communications center which simultaneously activates
all warning sirens at once. The sirens are activated either at the direction
of the on-duty supervisor, or upon receiving notification of an emergency
situation such as a confirmed tornado sighting.
