City of Raymore to change testing day, time of outdoor warning siren

City of Raymore to change testing day, time of outdoor warning siren
Effective April 7, Raymore Emergency Management will begin testing the City’s outdoor warning siren system at 11 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month. Previously, Raymore’s warning sirens were tested on Saturday afternoon.
“The City is changing the siren testing day and time to comply with a Metro guideline that is being established for the Kansas City Metropolitan Area,” said Mike Boos, Raymore Emergency Management Coordinator.
This modification is one of several discussed amongst metro area emergency managers, along with the National Weather Service, the past year. The final draft of their recommendations will go before the Mid-America Regional Council’s Metropolitan Emergency Managers Committee for approval in early March.
“We have tested our system on the weekend for a number of years, due in large part to size and activity of the community,” said Boos. “As the city has grown and more businesses and members of the community are present during the day, the need to change the testing of the system makes sense. It is also good to make changes periodically to provide new awareness and promote interest in the community.”
