 Severe
Weather Warning System
The
Village of Spring Grove maintains and operates a community wide outdoor
severe weather warning system. This system is designed to warn
residents of an approaching tornado or extremely dangerous weather. The
system can by activated by Spring Grove Police Officers and designated
fire district officials from police and fire vehicles. It can also be
activated by McHenry County E.S.D.A. from their base.
In
the event of threatening weather officers carefully observe approaching
storms and monitor local emergency services, police, fire, and civilian
radio frequencies to determine the threat of danger. If it is
determined that the outdoor warning system should be activated the
sirens are activated and will continue a steady blast for 3 minutes.
The
first Tuesday of every month the Village will test the Outdoor Weather
Warning System. The system will be activated at approximately 10:30 a.m.
and will sound a solid blast siren for three minutes. Any questions
about the system should be referred to the police department.
