Change In Storm Siren Testing Slated To Take Effect In August

Change In Storm Siren Testing Slated To Take Effect In August

Greenwood County Emergency Management Director Levi Vinson revisited the subject of updating the Memorandum of Understandings (MOU) with cities who own a storm siren(s). Vinson shared that within the new MOUs was moving the testing date and time for sirens county-wide from Monday to Tuesdays at 1 p.m. He noted that this transition would afford for city staff to be present while sirens are being tested to ensure they are operable. If a given siren does not function, the city is to contact Greenwood County Emergency Management to provide notice. The municipality is also to provide notice to Emergency Management when it has been fixed. MOUs are in place for the following cities: Madison, Hamilton, Eureka, Fall River and Severy. Commissioners approved the updated MOUs. Vinson shared that as discussion continues with given cities, the targeted time for transition to the Tuesday afternoon testing will be sometime in August. 06/04/2024 11:00 PM
