Outdoor Tornado Warning Siren
Tuesday, November 3, 2020
The Mayor and City Council are considering the purchase, installation and implementation of an outdoor audible warning siren system and other tornado warning system options. Based on a siren sales and installation vendor the model of siren recommended for the City is the Sentry Model 16V1T-B Stationary Warning Siren.
Prior to presenting the item for City Council consideration, the Alamo Heights Fire Department has been tasked with obtaining input from area residents that live near the projected siren site and then provide the neighborhood opinions to Council. The projected siren location is within the City Public Works facility, near the well house adjacent to Bluebonnet Street.
Installation of the warning siren would also include a CPS pole for an electrical transformer to provide power to the siren. (Refer to the edited rendition).
The service provider contacted recommends one Sentry Model 16V1T-B Stationary Warning Siren. Various images of the specific siren included in the photo gallery
The warning siren would activate automatically if tornadic conditions near the City. The siren would also be activated monthly as an operational test.
