Northwest Wheaton Outdoor Weather Siren Being Replaced
The City of Wheaton is working to replace the outdoor weather siren on Morse Street in northwest Wheaton (near Wheaton North High School) after recent high winds from a storm damaged the siren. We anticipate this repair to be completed in the next few weeks.
As a reminder, outdoor weather sirens are intended to notify people who are outdoors that dangerous weather is approaching and they should seek shelter immediately. The City recommends all residents have multiple ways to receive emergency weather alerts, such as through cell phones, local TV/radio news stations, or weather radios. Outdoor weather sirens – while you may hear them from indoors – should not be your primary source for notifying you when severe weather is imminent.
