Mr. Tonding informed him one of the <br />following criteria must be met to activate the civil defense siren: <br /> · A tornado warning issued by the National Weather Service for an area within Anoka <br /> County <br /> · High wind warning <br /> · Reliable spotter report <br /> <br />Public Works Director Kapler advised in the case of the storm on Wednesday, Central <br />Communications began receiving calls about the severe damage when the storm got to Andover. <br />Central Communications then called the National Weather Service, who at that point in time said <br />Anoka County was being raised to a tornado warning. The sirens were activated again about 30 <br />minutes later when the National Weather Service indicated there was a second cell. Mr. Tonding <br />has said he would be more than happy to attend a Council meeting or work session to answer <br />questions of the Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated the sirens did not go off at a proper timeframe for the residents of <br />Ramsey. If Anoka County has to get hit by weather for the sirens to go off, Ramsey will always <br />face this issue because they are at the leading edge of weather. He would like to discuss this <br />issue further at a work session. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec indicated this issue was brought up by the mayors in the area during a conference <br />call with the Governor's office today. The Governor's office will be looking into the issue. <br /> <br />P24 <br /> <br />City Council / September 27, 2005 <br /> Page 24 of 25 <br /> <br /> <br />
