Do you live near an outdoor warning siren? If so, you can help your community by "adopting" it and serving as a siren observer! It's critical for public safety that our outdoor warning system function as we expect it to during times of emergency. Even with all the technology and two-way communication, we still rely on human observation to ensure each outdoor warning siren is functioning properly. Sedgwick County has 152 outdoor warning sirens and they are tested every Monday at noon barring holidays, and inclement weather. We encourage everyone living within eye-shot of a siren to sign up! You will receive a brief video overview of what to look for and how to report any issues.
