Stutsman County to test sirens on April 28

The week of April 26 is Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week in North Dakota. 6:47 am, Apr. 23, 2021 × The week of April 26 has been designated Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week for North Dakota. This annual event is intended to remind the public of the dangers associated with severe summer weather including lightning, high winds, large hail, flash floods and tornadoes, all of which can cause severe property damage, personal injury and death. As part of the awareness week activities, Stutsman County will conduct a tornado exercise that will begin at about 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, April 28. The exercise will simulate what occurs locally when a tornado warning is issued by the National Weather Service.

Preparing for Severe Summer Weather, Siren Tests Planned

Another part of the preparedness for the county includes testing tornado sirens. Bergquist says they will conduct siren tests at around 11:15 AM Wednesday, April 28th. This will activate sirens in Jamestown, Buchanan, Cleveland, Medina, and Streeter to ensure they are working correctly. Because the National Weather Service will not directly be involved with the exercise, the simulated warning will not be broadcast through the National Weather Service all-hazards weather radio system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) for local AM/FM radio stations and cable television providers will not be activated. The Stutsman Alert’s notification system powered by Everbridge will also not be activated for this test.
