Thursday morning, Culver Clerk-Treasurer Karen Heim put out a response to the sirens going off that morning.
Heim said, “If you were in or around Culver this (Thursday) morning, you probably heard the sirens and wondered why they were going off on such a nice day. They were being tested/worked on.”
She took the opportunity to answer question questions that are often asked about the meanings of the sirens,
If there is a tornado warning, in addition to your phone going off, the siren will sound at a high tone for a straight three minutes.
In the case of a fire, alerting the volunteers to head to the station and those on the roads to be alert for volunteers heading to the station, the siren will alternate high tone and low tone five times.
In the case of an attack or a defense alert, the siren will have a waving tone of short blasts for approximately three minutes.
