The Pella Police Department would like to remind residents of changes to the city’s Outdoor Warning System. Administrative Services Manager Marcia Slycord says the sirens in Pella are part of an outdoor, all-hazards siren system that is used to warn citizens of potential danger in a short amount of time, and is designed to provide coverage to those outdoors–not inside buildings or structures.
Slycord says one of the key changes to the system this spring going forward is that sirens will be activated upon receipt of a tornado warning issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in which the City of Pella is included in the warning polygon or for Severe Thunderstorm Warnings where forecasted or actual wind speeds reach or exceed 70mph and/or golf ball or larger sized hail.
