The City of Oconto Falls emergency siren repairs have been completed this morning. We apologize for the inconvenience of not having the emergency siren available during the severe weather yesterday. The repairs took an extended period as the City needed to purchase equipment for the repair and find personnel to repair the siren.
As a reminder, emergency sirens are primarily designed to alert individuals outdoors to the imminent danger of a tornado or severe thunderstorms. They are not meant to be heard indoors. While sirens can be helpful, they should not be the sole source of severe weather alerts. People should also use NOAA Weather Radio, local media, and smartphone apps for more detailed and timely information.
