The sirens are all linked together. Thus, all 27 sirens sound at the same time. These sirens are an outdoor warning system. The sirens are not intended to awake people from their sleep. A weather alert radio can be a useful tool for that purpose.
Families can purchase a weather alert radio as an additional resource for emergency preparedness.
You must make an informed decision on your safety and the safety of your family and take immediate action. Report dangerous weather conditions to the Eau Claire Emergency Center. The Eau Claire Emergency Center is responsible for conducting the monthly testing of the weather sirens. The test is conducted during the months of April through October. Basically, this ensures all the sirens are operating correctly.
