Talk about it

Based on the overcast/gloomy weather the scheduled siren test has been postponed until Tuesday, March 27, at 1 p.m. The plan is to activate them from two different sites so there will be two activations of 3 minutes each.

--1 p.m. Monday, March 26 (postponed until Tuesday, March 27)

--1:40 p.m. Thursday, April 19 (this test is one in conjunction with the National Weather Service)

--1 p.m. Monday, May 21

--1 p.m. Monday, June 25

--1 p.m. Monday, July 23

--1 p.m. Monday, Aug. 27

--1 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24

When there’s threatening weather and you hear sirens, remember the city no longer activates an “all-clear” siren after the storm moves on.

Every household and business should have a plan in place about where to take shelter during storms. Information can be found at the National Weather Service website at: www.nws.noaa.gov/safety.php or Wisconsin’s Emergency Management website at emergencymanagement.wi.gov

The Journal’s website at www.riverfallsjournal.com posts important weather and storm updates as they become available. So stay alert and be prepared. Spring is blowing in.
