Oklahoma Town Adding 7 Tornado Sirens, Now Will Have 32
As Oklahoma’s traditional severe weather season approaches, the city of Enid is adding seven tornado sirens.
Mike Honigsberg, the Enid-Garfield County Emergency Management director, tells the Enid News and Eagle that the sirens will help the city fill gaps in its current system.
He says when he became the emergency management director, the northwestern Oklahoma city had 14 sirens and some of those didn’t work. He says the new sirens will give Enid 32 working sirens and he hopes to add as many as 10 more in the coming years.
He says siren failures now are rare and usually are attributable to breaker issues.
