Siren test is Sunday

Sunday, January 04, 2009 |
Coos Bay and North Bend residents will hear a tsunami warning on Sunday. The cities of Coos Bay and North Bend and the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board will test a tsunami warning system, Water Board General Manager Rob Schab said in a press release.
Sirens at North Bend High School, the Coos Bay Fire Department’s Empire station and Water Board Service Center in Coos Bay will be activated at 1 p.m., issuing a steady blast for one minute. This test will be followed by a dam-failure signal — a one-minute on/off siren blast.
Alarms should be audible within Coos Bay and North Bend, and the upcoming test will give residents a chance to hear how they sound, Schab said.
