Dubois tornado siren not working

The tornado siren in Dubois is not working, according to the Dubois County Emergency Management office.

Officials stated the service provider for the siren has been notified. Steve Kalb, Chief of Dubois Fire Department; and Tammy Humbert, Director of Dubois County Emergency Management are encouraging all residents of Dubois to be aware of the problem and to verify that their SAME weather radios have fresh batteries and are ready to notify you of any severe weather coming to the area.

We also encourage ALL citizens of Dubois County to do the same as the sirens in the county are put in place as a backup only to notify residents outside of threatening weather that is approaching. Sirens are not to replace your own notification process such as a NOAA weather radio.

We are currently in severe weather season and are expecting severe weather this evening through Tuesday. Please have a plan in place in the event that severe weather does affect Dubois County
