On September 15, 2006 L&B Electronics installed a new storm
warning siren
in Linn Creek, Missouri. The set up also included a back up battery system in
case of power failure.
"The city has had to depend on on local police officers to cruise
the city in their cars and use certain tones on the vehicle's siren
to warn residents of impending weather.
Many residents are not familiar with the police tones and are
unaware of their meaning.
When the area was hit by tornado warnings earlier this year, the
nearby city of Camdenton had to sound their sirens a number of
times." writes Dale Johnson of The Reporter.
The type of siren that was installed was an American Signal T-121.
The Tempest™ series of Emergency Alerting products are used for the
notification of the public or employees during severe weather
situations, Hazardous Material Incidents, Wild Fires, and other
disaster scenarios.
"The city plans on adding two more sirens in the future if grant
money can be obtained.
The city will apply for a grant in November of 2006 to pay for the
second siren. If the grant is approved, the second siren will be
located in the industrial park." writes Dale Johnson of The
Reporter.
