South county siren test planned Sept. 5
The purpose of the test is to confirm connectivity between Sheriff’s Dispatch and the four sirens installed in southern Lake County to advise residents of an imminent hazard.
Should there be an active response to local fires in progress, the test will be rescheduled.
The four siren sites are in Middletown, Anderson Springs, Cobb and Loch Lomond.
At about 4 p.m. Wednesday, an activation signal will be sent to each site, where personnel will confirm the unit has been activated. The unit will then be immediately shut off. A failure to activate will be noted for investigation and repair.
The sirens have been installed as one of the tools used to warn residents of the need to take further actions in the face of an emergency.
The sheriff’s office also encourages residents to sign up for LakeCoAlerts and Nixle for telephone, text and email alerts issued by the Sheriff’s Office at www.lakesheriff.com.
Questions about the sirens may be directed to the South Lake County Fire Protection District at 707-987-3089.
