BerquistJerrymediumJamestown(CSi)  Stutsman County Emergency Manager, and 9-1-1- Co-Ordinator Jerry Bergquest said, dangers associated with severe summer weather include: lightning, high winds, large hail, flash floods and tornadoes. All of which, can cause severe property damage, personal injury, and even death.

Severe weather warnings will be broadcast over the National Weather Service all-hazards weather radio system, local AM/FM radio stations and the CSi Cable interrupt system.

He pointed out that the most common reason a community’s warning sirens are activated is to warn the public of a possible tornado. However, sirens could also be activated to alert the public of other types of events that could be a danger to the community.

Hearing the sirens is the signal to tune into any of the local radio stations and listen for official instructions. CSi Cable subscribers can also turn on their TV and hear official instructions.

Information may also be provided via the CodeRED notification system, which Stutsman County subscribes to, and the Stutsman County Facebook page.
