Geneva County evaluates digital siren upgrades; EMA recommends holding off
Summary
County Attorney reported upgrades would cost $2,000 per siren for four units. EMA Director Brian Smith said one siren on Geneva's water tower was not operational but that testing had increased; he recommended testing rather than immediate upgrades.
County Attorney Phil Eldridge told the commission that upgrading the county's weather sirens from analog to digital would cost about $2,000 per unit for four units that need updating.
EMA Director Brian Smith reported one siren (on the Geneva water tower) was not operational and said he has increased testing from twice a month to weekly to ensure reliability. Smith said the department could try upgrading one siren as a test but recommended holding off on a full upgrade at this time.
