Storm siren testing will be conducted at noon every Wednesday beginning in March. Should bad weather prohibit the testing on that Wednesday, it will be conducted on the following Thursday.
When storm sirens are sounded, or a tornado warning is issued, it means a tornado has been sighted and cover should be taken immediately. Because of potential short warning time, citizens are encouraged to make arrangements with neighbors who have basements or safe rooms, so shelter can be taken as close to home as possible. The public shelters may be available, but due to space limitations, should be used as a last resort. Public shelters are located at:
The Parsons Municipal Building - basement - 112 South 17th Street
Fire Station #1 - basement - 1819 Washington
Guthridge School - safe room - 1020 South 31st Street
