Jamestown  (CSi)  Next week, April 27- May 1 is Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week, and on Thursday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Stutsman County Emergency Manager and 9-1-1-Coordinator Jerry Bergquist said the purpose of the event is remind residents of the various type of severe weather possibilities, in the summer, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and more.

During next week’s awareness activities, on Wednesday April 29, about 11:15-a.m., the outdoor warning sirens will be activated for three minutes, as each siren is evaluated that it’s working properly.

He said that during the testing the typical warning venues during an actual severe weather event will not be activated by the National Weather Service, but will be during an actual sever weather event. On April 29, the internal notification procedures will be tested, and reviewed.

Jerry encourages that people sign up for the Stutsman Alerts notifications, powered by Everbridge.

Sign up through the Stutsman County website, and select the weather warnings you want to be notified about.

He added that those living in mobile homes should arrange for another location to go to in the event of a tornado warning.
