ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — Technicians are working to fix the multiple outdoor warning sirens that have falsely sounded throughout St. Louis County over the past few days.
“There is no cause for alarm or imminent danger,” St. Louis County Police Department said in a Facebook post.
The siren service provider and Emergency Communications Commission technicians are working to determine and fix the issue.
“In the meantime, be assured that we are doing everything we can to prevent further false soundings,” the post states.
The Emergency Communications Commission is tasked with the operational care, maintenance and functionality of a system of 204 Outdoor Warning Sirens (OWS) throughout St. Louis County.
Earlier this week, Affton experienced an outdoor warning siren falsely sounding. The St. Louis County Office of Emergency Management assured residents that there was no threat or emergency. The cause was due to an unknown technical issue.
An update will be sent out when more information becomes available.
