The Cheyenne/Laramie County Emergency Management Agency will be testing the Outdoor Warning Siren system promptly at 10:00 a.m. Friday April 1, 2016 for Pine Bluffs and at 12:00 p.m. Friday April 1, 2016 for Cheyenne and surrounding towns. The warning system will sound a steady signal for a period of 1 to 3 minutes.
During an actual emergency, when residents hear the sirens they should take cover immediately and tune into a local radio or television station to receive additional emergency information. Residents should not call 911 or local emergency officials for information as this tie’s up telephone lines needed for emergency operations. The sirens are an all-hazards emergency warning system and are intended to warn residents of any life threatening situation in the area.
