On Wednesday October 17th at 6 PM, Yellowstone County Disaster & Emergency Services (DES) will conduct a county wide Emergency Siren Test. The siren system is to alert citizens of possible dangers such as, natural or man-made disasters, extreme changing weather conditions, chemical emergencies, or national emergencies. The 24 sirens will sound for 1 minute at all sites.
When the public hears the Emergency Siren System, please follow these directions:
· Go indoors, close all doors and windows
· Tune to local information stations (TV, Radio, Weather Radio, etc)
· DO NOT call 911. Such calls may hinder response activities in an emergency.
· Stay tuned to your local media outlets for further information and instructions.
